One of baseball’s signature events presented an unexpected lesson on the core leadership charge to follow one’s instincts when presented with circumstances that require split-second decision making.

Tigers ace Tarik Skubal, tabbed as the American League’s starting pitcher, allowed two runs in a tough-luck first inning. National League leadoff man Shohei Ohtani fell behind 0-2 before slapping a single to center. Ronald Acuña Jr. also battled to two strikes before beating out a dribbler to second for an infield hit.

There's not much better than the game's best power hitters showing off their strength and skill during the Derby. Tonight, we'll get to witness James Wood, Byron Buxton, Oneil Cruz, Jazz Chisholm, Cal Raleigh, Matt Olson, Junior Caminero and Brent Rooker battle it out to decide the 2025 champion.

The first thing you notice when a home run ball starts to fly in your direction is that all your preconceived notions of how you’d react in that moment are pretty much wrong.

Los Angeles Dodgers superstar Shohei Ohtani didn’t take part in the All-Star Derby swing-off after a 6-6 tie. Here is why he missed it.

Cal Raleigh's victory in the annual MLB Home Run Derby on Monday offered ESPN a step in the right direction. The event drew an average audience of 5,729,000 vie

Tampa Bay Rays slugger Junior Caminero, along with the rest of the baseball world, were stunned to see one of his would-be home runs robbed at the wall.

With the top four advancing from the first round, Raleigh tied Brent Rooker (17 home runs) for fourth. The tiebreaker was based on longest home run distance, meaning Raleigh (470.61 feet) advanced, while Rooker (470.53) was eliminated. To be clear: .08 feet is .96 inches. Raleigh advanced by less than one inch.

Here’s the full list of Home Run Derby pitchers as we get set for all the dingers we're about to see: That would be his dad, Todd Raleigh. Eddie Perez, a coach for Olson and the Braves (who's also a former Atlanta catcher) will be throwing.
