Cal Raleighs Unprecedented 2025 Season: A Record-Breaking Year for the Seattle Mariners Catcher

In an unparalleled season, Cal Raleigh, the Seattle Mariners catcher, shattered records and joined an elite club with his historic performance in 2025. The 29-year-old switch-hitter smashed 60 home runs, surpassing Mickey Mantles record for switch-hitters and becoming the first to hit at least 20 from both sides of the plate. He led the American League with 125 runs batted in and posted impressive slash line stats.

Raleighs exceptional season also included catching 1072 innings, guiding the Mariners to their first AL West title since 2001, and an AL Championship Series run. Despite his incredible achievements, he remained humble, reflecting on the surreal experience of hitting milestones without actively pursuing them.

In the playoffs, Raleigh batted .300 with 5 home runs, but the Mariners fell short in Game Seven of the ALCS. Initially disappointed, Raleigh later took pride in pushing the team further than ever before. He finished second in AL MVP voting, earning 13 first-place votes.

Looking ahead, Raleighs focus is on winning a World Series, aiming to leave a lasting legacy through his all-around game, which includes 24 doubles and 14 steals.
