In the final between Seattle Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh and Tampa Bay Rays third baseman Junior Caminero, the latter slugger hit what appeared to be his sixth homer of the timed portion — until someone with a glove jumped and hauled the ball in. It was unclear in the moment if the ball would have been a homer, but it clearly had potential.

Despite the fact that Cal Raleigh continued his storybook 2025 season by winning the 2025 Home Run Derby at Truist Park in Atlanta, the buzz ended up being about the kid who "robbed" a dinger off the bat of finalist Junior Caminero.
