Brewers pitcher Trevor Megill didn’t hesitate to say what he was most looking forward to during All-Star Week. “Oneil Cruz hitting home runs,” he said. “That boy can mash a baseball, man. He’s impressive.

The Pittsburgh Pirates will almost certainly be aggressive sellers at the trade deadline, but that doesn't mean they will completely clean house.

Here is a look at the monster home run that Pirates slugger Oneil Cruz clobbered in the first round of the 2025 Home Run Derby.

Pittsburgh Pirates shortstop Oneil Cruz blasted a 513-foot homer out of Atlanta's Truist Park on Monday night during the 2025 MLB Home Run Derby. It's one of the most impressive homers you're likely to see this season, even if it was technically done in a non-game event specifically engineered to produce homers.

Raleigh will become the second-ever player to switch hit in the Derby ( Adley Rutschman in 2023, lost 2nd round), plus no catcher has ever won the derby. This is year 39 of the event, so odds are against Raleigh despite him being the favorite.
