Sneak Peak: Cal Raleigh using special 'Big Dumper' bats for Home Run Derby

The home run derby is set to launch Monday and features eight on MLB's best sluggers.

But no one is currently swinging a hotter bat than Seattle Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh, who joined yet another ultra-rare statistical club Sunday that previously only boasted Babe Ruth, Reggie Jackson and Ken Griffey Jr. 

The Athletic's Jayson Stark got a sneak peak at Raleigh's special Home Run Derby bats, courtesy of Rawlings - and they look real and spectacular: 

Raleigh leads MLB with 38 home runs,  three more than New York Yankees slugger Aaron Judge, and one of just five players with more than 25 at the break (Raleigh, Judge, Shohei Ohtani, Eugenio Suarez, Kyle Schwarber). 

Can he continue his red-hot streak and add a HR Derby championship to his resume? 

We'll find out soon!
