2025 Home Run Derby Favorites

Cal Raleigh (+300)

Raleigh leads this group in regular-season home runs with 36, showcasing the raw power that’s made him a Mariners staple. As a catcher who’s shown he can handle a full 140+ game season, stamina isn’t a huge concern, but I do wonder how repeatable his power stroke is over several timed rounds. At +300, he’s just not quite the bet I want to make.

2025 Home Run Derby Pick: Byron Buxton (+850)

I’m riding with Byron Buxton at +950. Health has been his career-long hurdle, but when Buxton’s on the field, he launches homers at an incredible clip. The Derby demands a blend of stamina and effortless power, and Buxton checks both boxes. He’s one of the best athletes in baseball, so he won’t wear down like some bigger-bodied sluggers. At nearly 10-1, half a unit on Buxton is my favorite play for this year’s Derby.
