The unofficial second half of the 2025 MLB season will begin Friday. With that in mind, there are several storylines to keep an eye on during the final 11 weeks of the regular season.

Dodgers outfielder Teoscar Hernandez was crowned 2024 Home Run Derby champion after defeating Royals shortstop Bobby Witt Jr. in the finals. Hernandez slugged 14 homers in the final round, one more than Witt, to become the first Dodgers player to win the Derby title.

The Seattle catcher is on a historic pace, hitting 38 home runs before the All-Star break. Some changes he made in the minor leagues have fueled his tear.

Cal Raleigh is having a dream season. He hit 38 home runs before the All-Star break and then won the MLB Home Run Derby thanks to a very precise measurement. The entire internet loves the Seattle Mariners catcher with the sizable hindquarters which is why he also recently signed an endorsement deal with a port-a-potty company.

USA Baseball announced the decision before Cal Raleigh participated in the All-Star Home Run Derby. The 28-year-old entered the All-Star break leading the major leagues with 38 homers and 82 RBIs.

The Mariners' meme came from a promotion the team started running at T-Mobile Park during the 2024 season, when fans who sent a message to the same email address could hire Raleigh to orchestrate their breakup.

Despite Aaron Judge and Shohei Ohtani still being at the top of their game, here is why Cal Raleigh may have a leg up on their individual seasons.

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.
