MLB Unveils 2025 Home Run Derby Chain in New Photo, Will Be Awarded to Champ

The winner of this year's MLB Home Run Derby will depart Atlanta in style.

MLB revealed the prize for winning the Home Run Derby, and it's not a trophy. Instead, the winner will receive a flashy gold chain featuring the phrase "Keep Swinging."

Monday's Home Run Derby features a stacked field.

Atlanta's own Ronald Acuña Jr. will represent the Braves and look to take home the chain in front of a home crowd. Though Acuña didn't make his season debut until late May, he's been on fire since returning to the field and is now up to 11 home runs, 20 RBI and a .336 batting average in 41 games.

The best hitter in baseball this year will make his Home Run Derby debut as Seattle Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh looks to win the chain. Raleigh leads the majors with 36 home runs, putting together one of the best seasons by a catcher in recent memory.

Washington Nationals star James Wood is one of the younger participants, but he has all the makings of a Home Run Derby champion. He's up to 24 home runs on the season despite being in just his second year in the majors.

Similar to Wood, Tampa Bay Rays third baseman Junior Caminero comes in as a younger participant at just 22, but his 22 home runs speak for themself.

Minnesota Twins star Byron Buxton is having one of the best seasons of his career, and he's looking to make it even better with a win in Atlanta. So far this year, he has 20 home runs.

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Oneil Cruz hits balls harder than just about anyone in the majors and has 16 home runs this season, making him an enticing player to watch in the derby.

Brent Rooker is on pace for a career season with the Athletics with 19 home runs and 50 RBI, and he's more than capable of leaving Atlanta with a new chain.

While Raleigh seems like the easy pick, considering he's hit more home runs than anyone this year, any player can get hot at the right moment and pull off an upset.
