On September 24, 2025, Seattle catcher Cal Raleigh blasted two solo home runs against the Colorado Rockies to raise his season total to 60, becoming only the seventh player in Major League history to reach the mark. With those blasts, he broke the single-season home run records for both catchers and switch-hitters, and increased his American League-leading RBI total to 125.
Raleigh’s performance helped power the Mariners to a 9–2 victory and clinch their first AL West title since 2001. With just four games remaining, he now has a chance to surpass Aaron Judge’s American League record of 62 homers, adding extra drama to Seattle’s playoff push.
The achievement also cements Raleigh’s role as one of baseball’s most impactful power hitters, a cornerstone for a Mariners team eager to prove it can make a deep postseason run. His historic season has energized the fan base, revived comparisons to legendary sluggers, and given Seattle its most thrilling playoff outlook in more than two decades.
