Who's the kid who 'robbed' Junior Caminero of HR Derby dinger?
The home run ended up counting, so no big deal. Caminero was totally cool about it, too, and Raleigh had jokes about paying him off.
Wondering who it is? And how he felt about that whole incident? The Athletic tracked him down and spoke with the 17-year-old, whose name is Sam Musterer. It was quite a catch, and now he's a viral sensation.
From the article:
'I wasn't quite aware of where I was on the fence,' Musterer said. 'I thought the fence was a little taller there. I kind of just reached up and grabbed it.' ...
Musterer, 17, was on the field for the Home Run Derby, he said, because his father, Richard, is an official scorer at Braves games. Richard also regularly broadcasts Georgia Tech sports games. Sam Musterer attends Pope High School in Marietta, Ga., and plays baseball for the East Side Chargers select team. He's a right-handed pitcher and center fielder, but said he's never made a play like that before.
Wild. Amazing work by the kid. Watch it again:
The Mariners had a funny reaction to the kid who robbed Junior Caminero
Too funny!

Why This Cubs-Braves Trade Idea Makes Perfect Sense
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The Atlanta Braves and Chicago Cubs are having two completely opposite seasons. Atlanta is well under .500 and 10 games out of a postseason spot, while Chicago is off to its best start since it won the World Series in 2016. The difference in seasons have put both in different spots at the trade deadline. There is a potential trade between the two teams that makes so much sense for both sides, and it involves two former Gold Glove winners. SACRAMENTO, CALIFORNIA - JULY 08: Marcell Ozuna #20 of the Atlanta Braves reacts after hitting a double in the top of the second inning against the Athletics at Sutter Health Park on July 08, 2025... SACRAMENTO, CALIFORNIA - JULY 08: Marcell Ozuna #20 of the Atlanta Braves reacts after hitting a double in the top of the second inning against the Athletics at Sutter Health Park on July 08, 2025 in Sacramento, California. MoreCubs receive: DH Marcell Ozuna Braves receive: LF Ian Happ, RHP Brody McCullough (CHC No. 23 prospect) A swap of former Gold Glove winners in Ozuna and Happ makes sense, more so for the Cubs than the Braves, and let's dive into why that is the case. It has already been reported that Ozuna could be available at the trade deadline and Chicago is in need of a right-handed bat to counter some of the power left-handed arms in the National League. He is having a bit of a down year against lefties (.229 average, two home runs) but that can be attributed to not being fully healthy all season. On the other hand, Happ is in the middle of what would be the worst season of his professional career. A career .246 hitter, Happ is batting just .228 with an OPS of .701. McCullough is a top-30 prospect in the Cubs organization and would be more of a throw-in piece to add some organizational depth at pitcher for the Braves. Ian Happ has been stuck in a brutal slump for a couple of months now. Over his last 56 games: .199/.301/.371 18 XBH | 31 RBI | 66 K .299 wOBA | 92 wRC+ — The Wrigley Wire (@TheWrigleyWire) July 11, 2025 With just this season remaining on his contract, Ozuna would most likely be a half-season to help the Cubs make a push to the World Series. For the Braves, Happ would have the remainder of this season and next year remaining on his contract, while McCullough would have several seasons of team control remaining. A swap of the former Gold Glove winners is a logical and smart move for both sides and something both fanbases could enjoy and be happy with.
