💨 Abstract

Cal Raleigh, known as "Big Dumper," is leading the MLB in home runs for catchers this season with 42, on pace for 60. He's also crucial to the Seattle Mariners' playoff hopes, handling both pitching guidance and defensive duties. Raleigh's success is part of a larger trend of catchers improving offensively, possibly due to the one-knee down stance. Despite the physical demands, Raleigh focuses on consistency and routine, setting him apart in the league.
