Cal Raleigh Sets Multiple Catcher Home Run Records

News summary

Seattle Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh hit his MLB-leading 36th home run during a 10-3 loss to the New York Yankees, setting a new franchise pre-All-Star break record and surpassing Ken Griffey Jr. Raleigh also broke Mike Piazza's record for most homers by a primary catcher in their first five seasons and became the first catcher in MLB history to reach 36 home runs and 75+ RBIs before the break. His surge has put him ahead of Aaron Judge in the home run race and elevated him to AL MVP contention. Raleigh's recent contract extension is now seen as a bargain for Seattle, as his power has energized the team's playoff hopes. Off the field, Raleigh's popularity is reflected in his fan-favorite nickname, 'Big Dumper,' highlighted during the Yankees broadcast. As the All-Star Game approaches, Raleigh is attracting national attention and may challenge further records.
