Raleigh is leading the league in home runs(32), is first in RBI, second in OPS, second in Slugging Percentage, and third in total bases. Raleigh is on pace to shatter the MLB record set by Salvador Perez for the most home runs hit by a primary catcher(41) set in 2021. Will Raleigh win the 2025 Home Run Derby?
Who Else Is In the Home Run Derby Field?
Raleigh is not the only big-name participating in the 2025 T-Mobile Home Run Derby. He will be joined in the field by Atlanta Braves Right Fielder Ronald Acuna Jr. He will look to win the contest behind the support of his hometown fans. With more than two weeks until the derby, more players will announce their participation in this prestigious event.
Final Thoughts
Raleigh has been tremendous over the first half of the 2025 regular season. It is unclear how that will translate to the Home Run Derby. The winner of the competition must have stamina throughout the event. MLB fans will look forward to how Raleigh will perform.
