Cal Raleigh Achieves Historic 100 RBI Mark and Nears Catcher Home Run Record

Seattle Mariners All-Star catcher Cal Raleigh hit his 46th home run of the season, a two-run shot against the New York Mets, which simultaneously marked his 100th RBI. This achievement makes him the first catcher since Mike Piazza (1999-2000) to record consecutive 100-RBI seasons while playing at least 50% of his games behind the plate. Raleigh's 46 homers place him second all-time for catchers in a single season, just two shy of Salvador Perez's record, and third all-time for switch-hitters, trailing only Mickey Mantle. His impactful performance comes as the Mariners are 1.5 games behind the Astros in the AL West and hold the league's No. 1 wild-card spot with 39 games remaining.
