MLB fans are about to find out if Tampa Bay Rays Junior Caminero can hit as well in Milwaukee’s American Family Field during the World Series as he does in batting practice.
A day after breaking the scoreboard at batting practice, Caminero was at it again before Friday’s Game 1. He nearly hit the World Series Championship trophy on the FOX Sports pregame set.
The FOX set is in the upper deck of American Family Field so it was no small feat for Caminero to launch the ball that way.

FOX’s Kevin Burkhardt joked that Caminero was trying to murder them.
Alex Rodriguez added as Caminero goes is how the Rays will go in this World Series. He emphasized that the hitters in front of him will need to get on base to put pressure on the Brewers’ pitchers to face Caminero.

Caminero is only 23
It is difficult to fathom that Caminero is only 23 years old.
He backed up his 154 game, 45 homerun performance in 2025 with a 162 game, 42 homerun 2026 season.
Each year, he had over 100 RBIs.
On top of his tremendous talent is a charisma and fan-appeal that makes every time he is on the field must-see television.
