Cal Raleigh Hits 57th Home Run to Break Mariners’ Single-Season Record

The switch-hitting catcher holds multiple MLB single-season home run records.

Overview

  • The third-inning blast in Houston passed Ken Griffey Jr.’s 56-homer mark to set the club record.
  • Raleigh drove a 95.5 mph sinker from left-hander Framber Valdez into the right-center bullpen.
  • He leads the majors in home runs this season.
  • Earlier this month he topped Mickey Mantle’s long-standing single-season total for a switch-hitter at 54.
  • He also owns the catcher record after eclipsing Salvador Perez’s 48 from 2021, then celebrated by raising the Mariners’ trident handed to him by J.P. Crawford.
