Raleigh hit his 46 th home run of the season on Friday night in the third inning of the Mariners game against the New York Mets at Citi Field. The home run broke a tie with Johnny Bench for the second-most in a season by a catcher and left Raleigh trailing only Salvador Perez, who hit 48 homers in 2021.

Cal Raleigh is having a magnificent season for the Seattle Mariners. The superstar catcher is on the verge of setting a new single-season catcher home run record. He's got a chance to catch the single-season switch-hitter home run record. He's also a great defender with an awesome nickname (Big Dumper). It's a good time to be Raleigh.
