Pat McAfee had a wild introduction for Cal Raleigh prior to the Home Run Derby at Truist Park in Atlanta, Ga., on Monday night.

Raleigh, who leads MLB in home runs this season, was one of the eight participants in the 2025 Home Run Derby. Raleigh is nicknamed the “Big Dumper,” which is a reference to his large posterior. When introducing Raleigh, McAfee, an ESPN personality who was serving as the master of ceremonies for the derby, said that Raleigh had the “fattest as- in all of professional sports.”

That’s quite an introduction, but it’s well within McAfee’s style.

The former NFL punter is known for pushing boundaries while hosting his daily talk show, or when performing in other environments. McAfee has also been a “College GameDay” co-host for ESPN, and he is a WWE personality. He showed off that wrestling announcer side in his intro for Raleigh.
