Seattle Mariners First MLB Team with Five 100-HR Players in Single Season

The Seattle Mariners have made history by becoming the first MLB team to have five players hit their 100th career home run in the same season, a rare milestone achieved by Cal Raleigh, Randy Arozarena, Josh Naylor, and others. Among these milestones, Julio Rodríguez set a team record by hitting a home run off a pitch just 0.71 feet above the ground, the lowest pitch a Mariners player has homered on since 2008. Rodríguez's power surge continued after he opted out of the All-Star Game, hitting 14 home runs since then and maintaining a strong offensive performance. These achievements highlight the Mariners' unique blend of emerging talent and experienced players reaching significant career markers simultaneously. The team's remarkable home run milestones and Rodríguez's record-setting feat underscore a season of notable personal and team accomplishments in Seattle baseball history.
