• Mariners' Cal Raleigh: Secures 100-RBI season with homer

  09/29/2024 • By RotoWire

  Raleigh went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and an additional run scored in Sunday's 6-4 win over the Athletics. Raleigh set the major-league record for most homers by a catcher over his first four seasons when he went yard in the fifth inning. That blast was the margin of victory Sunday, and it also secured a 100-RBI campaign for the 27-year-old. Raleigh finished the year with a .220/.312/.436 slash line, 34 homers, 73 runs scored, six stolen bases and 16 doubles over 153 games, though he hit a much more impressive .286 (28-for-98) in September while homering in four of his last seven games.

  Raleigh went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 2-0 win over the Athletics. Raleigh has been consistent lately, going 12-for-40 (.300) over his last nine games. The catcher leads all major-league backstops with 32 homers this year, four ahead of the Athletics' Shea Langeliers. Raleigh has added a .218/.312/.426 slash line, 97 RBI, 70 runs scored and six stolen bases over 151 contests. While he's unlikely to hit for average over long spans, Raleigh is among the steadiest sources of power at the catcher position.
