Cal Raleigh is on a historic home run pace for a catcher [View all]

On June 20th, Seattle catcher Cal Raleigh clubbed his 28th home run. He reached that mark in 73 games. The previous catcher to hit 28 home runs the fastest to start the season was Johnny Bench, and it took him 14 more games (87). Raleigh hit another HR later that day for good measure.

Yesterday, he put his 30th ball over the fence.

Today, Cal Raleigh smoked dinger #31. The man is ON FIRE!
