Seattle Mariners Catcher Cal Raleigh On Pace For Historic Season
Seattle Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh has already jumped up the record books in team and MLB history this season.
On Tuesday, he set the single-season franchise record for most RBIs in a season by a catcher . And he's already joined Hall of Fame backstops like Mike Piazza and Johnny Bench as one of the only catchers in history to hit 20 or more home runs in each of his first four seasons.On top of his park-clearing power, Raleigh has also put himself in Gold Glove consideration with his defense behind the plate.
According to game notes sent out by Mariners PR on Wednesday, Raleigh leads American League catchers with 14 defensive runs saved . He has 11 catcher framing runs according to Baseball Savant.Raleigh has a 3.29 catcher ERA in 116 games played and 953 innings caught. He's also tied for the most runners caught stealing in the major leagues .
Raleigh is tied with the Los Angles Dodgers' Will Smith for the league-lead. If Raleigh were to lead the league in runners caught stealing this season, he would become the first catcher to pace the MLB in that stat since Hall of Famer Gary Carter did it for the Montreal Expos in 1982-83.Seattle Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh passed Dan Wilson in an impressive stat during Tuesday's loss against the Oakland Athletics.
The Seattle Mariners lost their third-straight game and were walked off for the second time in those three losses in a 5-4 defeat against the Oakland Athletics on Monday.
