Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Oneil Cruz delivered a memorable performance in the 2025 Home Run Derby, highlighted by a colossal 513-foot home run in the first round at Truist Park. This monumental blast, which tied Aaron Judge's record for the longest home run hit outside of Coors Field, was part of his impressive 21 dingers in the opening round. Cruz showcased immense power, averaging 447 feet on his home runs and registering a top exit velocity of 118 mph, before being eliminated in the semifinal round by eventual champion Cal Raleigh. Despite his exit, Cruz's exceptional power display was a major talking point of the event.
