Before World Series Game 1, Rays’ Junior Caminero hits FOX set during BP

In the days leading up to the World Series Game 1, Tampa Bay Rays' third baseman Junior Caminero demonstrated his hitting prowess in a most unusual location - the FOX Sports pregame set at American Family Field. This was a day after Caminero managed to break the scoreboard during batting practice. His performance was so impressive that FOX Sports commentator Kevin Burkhardt quipped that Caminero was trying to assassinate the broadcasting team.

Caminero's remarkable talent was on full display once again as he nearly hit the World Series Championship trophy on the FOX set. The feat was particularly noteworthy given that the set is located in the upper deck of American Family Field, making it a challenging target. With Caminero's ability to perform at such a high level, his teammates will need to rally and put pressure on the Brewers' pitchers to make the most of this World Series matchup.

At just 23 years old, Caminero has already established himself as a formidable force in Major League Baseball. In 2025, he hit 45 home runs in 154 games and in 2026, he matched that feat with 42 home runs in 162 games, while also surpassing the 100 RBIs mark in both seasons. His impressive track record, coupled with his undeniable charisma and fan appeal, makes every appearance by Caminero an event not to be missed.
