Some of MLB's top sluggers are heading to Atlanta.
The 2025 Home Run Derby will take place over the All-Star festivities at Truist Park, with eight hitters competing to take the tournament's throne from the 2024 winner, Teoscar Hernandez.
The field includes a hometown star in Matt Olson, who is seeking to put on a show in front of Braves fans after replacing Ronald Acuna Jr. However, MLB home run leader Cal Raleigh will also be one of the favorites, as the Mariners catcher has put together an MVP-level season with a ton of power so far in 2025.
While Atlanta has hosted the Home Run Derby before, back in 2000, this will be the first time the event takes place at Truist Park.
