Mariners' Cal Raleigh Hits 60, Breaks Records

Seattle Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh hit his 60th home run in 2025, becoming the seventh player in MLB history to reach 60 homers and the first American Leaguer to do so since Aaron Judge in 2022. He hit two homers against the Colorado Rockies in the game — No. 59 into the upper deck in the first inning and No. 60 in the eighth — surpassing Ken Griffey Jr.'s franchise record and Mickey Mantle's single-season mark for switch‑hitters. Raleigh also set the single-season record for homers by a primary catcher, eclipsing Salvador Pérez's mark, and became the first player to hit at least 20 homers from each side of the plate in one season. His power surge helped the Mariners clinch the American League West and a postseason berth. With four games remaining he sits two homers shy of Aaron Judge's AL single-season record of 62 and has emerged as a leading AL MVP candidate.
