Cal Raleigh authored one of the most impressive offensive seasons a switch-hitter or catcher has ever put together last season, slugging 60 home runs and driving in 125 runs as the Mariners came within a whisper of capturing the American League pennant. The prolonged display of power and flair for the dramatic earned him Sports Illustrated's Breakout Star of the Year award, an honor across all sports.
Things are not going as splendidly for Raleigh and Seattle in '26 as the switch-hitting slugger is mired in a nasty slump that's beginning to border on the unbelievable.
