From Florida State, the Seattle Mariners grabbed Cal Raleigh with their 2018 Third Round Pick, and it did not take long for the slugging Catcher to make the club.
Debuting in the Emerald City in 2021, Raleigh emerged as their starting Catcher, and since then he has been one of the top power-hitting backstops in the American League. Blasting 27 Home Runs in 2022, Raleigh has belted 30 and 34 since, with 100 RBIs last season. Raleigh has not yet made the All-Star Game, but he has received MVP votes in the last two seasons, and he won the Gold Glove and Platinum Glove last year.
If Raleigh continues to improve in 2025, he could vault more than spots in next year’s revision.
