Cal Raleigh hits 50th home run, setting new MLB record for catchers and joining elite homer club.

Seattle Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh hit his 50th home run, setting a new major league record for home runs by a catcher and joining Mickey Mantle as the only switch-hitters to hit 50 homers in a season. Raleigh's record-breaking hit, a 419-foot shot, surpassed Salvador Perez's previous mark of 48 home runs by a catcher. This achievement also makes Raleigh the eighth player in MLB history to hit 50 home runs in a single season.
