Brent Rooker ripped MLB over tiebreaker rules during tough loss in Home Run Derby

Before the 2025 All-Star Game, Brent Rooker took part in the 2025 Home Run Derby. In the first round, he would suffer a controversial loss against Cal Raleigh due to the tiebreaker rules after finishing with 17 home runs. He would later rip these rules.

The two stars finished on level terms with 17 home runs in the first round. As a result of this, the longest home run would serve as the tiebreaker.

The problem was, both Rooker and Raleigh smashed a 470-foot home run. Raleigh would advance to the next round as his home run was 470.62 feet while Rooker’s was 470.54 feet. A decimal-point separation of only 0.96 inches separated the two of them.

While speaking with the reporters after this, Rooker would express his frustrations with this tiebreaker rule. The 30-year-old pointed out that the league should have displayed this during the contest and not after everyone was done.

You know, maybe if they have it to the decimal point, they should display that during the Derby and not wait till everyone’s done to bring out that information that might be helpful.

Rooker’s elimination from the Home Run Derby on this tiebreaker rule ignited several debates on social media, with many also accusing the league of favoring Raleigh. His loss turned out to be a big moment on Monday night.

Cal Raleigh, the Seattle Mariners catcher, would later go on to beat O’Neil Cruz and Junior Caminero to win the 2025 Home Run Derby. The 2025 MLB Home Run leader would become the first catcher to win the Home Run Derby. Rooker would later congratulate him on his win in a tweet on X.

The Athletics star is having a great season with the team once again. Through the 1st half of the season, he has slammed 20 home runs and managed to drive in 54 runs. The A’s, who are 41-59 for the year at the moment, would be hoping for some more positive impact from him as they get ready to embark on the 2nd half of the season.
