The 2025 Home Run Derby will see Atlanta Braves' Matt Olson replace teammate Ronald Acuña Jr., who will remain an All-Star outfielder despite withdrawal due to recent injuries. Olson, a top power hitter with 17 home runs this season, joins a roster that features several promising sluggers. Notably, Jazz Chisholm Jr. from the New York Yankees and Brent Rooker of the Athletics will also compete, while rising stars such as Junior Caminero and Oneil Cruz add excitement. Cal Raleigh, leading the league with 32 homers, will represent the Mariners, vying for the prestigious title.

With Acuña's strong return from ACL surgery and Olson's prowess, the Derby promises to showcase significant talent. The event, occurring on July 14 at Truist Park, will crown a new champion, following last year's winner, Teoscar Hernández. With a diverse field of participants, the competition is set to be electrifying, highlighting both established and emerging stars in the league.
