Cal Raleigh: The Record-Breaking Mariners Bomber
In the world of baseball, a name resonates strongly: Cal Raleigh. The Seattle Mariners player is proving to be unstoppable, leading the league with an impressive figure of 31 home runs. His recent performance against the Chicago Cubs has been simply spectacular. Raleigh, a switch-hitter, drove the Mariners to victory in two of the three games of the series. During these matchups, he hit four home runs and drove in six runs, demonstrating his power at the plate.In Sunday’s victory with a score of 14-6, Raleigh had two hits, received two walks, and scored three runs. His performance in the last 29 games is notable, with a batting average of .327 (37 of 113), 16 home runs, and 34 RBIs. In the last game of the series, Raleigh was the designated hitter. In his first at-bat against Colin Rea, he hit a 93.8 mph fastball for a two-run home run. The ball left with a speed of 105 mph, demonstrating the batter’s strength. In addition, he received a walk in the third inning and hit a single, scoring a run in the fifth. Despite an out in the sixth, he received another walk in the eighth, scoring thanks to a double by Randy Arozarena. With 31 home runs, he continues to advance in history. It’s fun to watch… He’s a smart player, so later in the game, he doesn’t get anxious, he doesn’t try to get out of the zone, he doesn’t try to move away from his identity as a hitter and who he is. He just stays where he needs to be. Raleigh, 28, who signed a six-year, $105 million contract with Seattle in March, has become the first switch-hitter to hit at least 30 home runs before the All-Star break. He needs just four more home runs to tie Ken Griffey Jr. and set a new record in Mariners history before the break. Raleigh’s impact on the game is undeniable, and his performance continues to impress all baseball fans.I’m just trying to have good at-bats. I try to be consistent. I really focus on my approach and don’t worry too much about what the pitcher is trying to do to me.
