Seattle Mariners slugger Cal Raleigh is tipping his cap to franchise great Ken Griffey Jr. Raleigh is a home run machine this season.

Two weeks ago, Raleigh hit his 29th homer, surpassing Johnny Bench's mark for the most ever by a catcher before the All-Star break. With his 30th home run, he became the first switch-hitter to reach that total before the season's halfway point. Raleigh has hit 22 home runs as a right-handed batter this season adding 12 as a left-hander.

Cal Raleigh has been selected as a starter for the American League at the 2025 MLB All-Star Game, representing the Seattle Mariners as a catcher.
