The Big Dumper was the favorite and he did not disappoint. Cal Raleigh, with his father pitching to him and his younger brother as the catcher, becomes the first catcher to win the Home Run Derby. Was the Mariners slugger credited with the longest non-Coors Field homer in Derby history?

Though 14 have participated in 32 Home Run Derbies - way more than the Tampa Bay Rays’ 4 - Colorado may end up suffering its longest drought without a participant in the Derby if no Rockie is included next year. Is Hunter Goodman the most logical choice for 2026? Or could another slugger surprise?

Plus, the real reason Trevor Story didn’t win in 2021, a rough end to the Rockies first half and why Denver had the greatest Home Run Derby in recent memory.
