# Caminero's 38-second trot

Sports · Heat 1.1 / 10 · 2 shows · 15m airtime

Junior Caminero's home run trot in the Rays' win over the Guardians on October 19 took 38 seconds, the second slowest on record behind only his own trot in August, and he stopped just before home plate. The seventh-inning shot, his first of the postseason, came with the score 5-1 and off Cade Smith's splitter, the first home run that pitch had ever allowed. Reporting has since noted a Dominican Winter League trot of about a minute, and the discussion now centers on where celebration ends and showing up the opponent begins.
