Seattle Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh achieved a historic milestone on August 24, 2025, becoming the first catcher in Major League baseball history to hit 49 home runs in a single season. The achievement was announced via the mariners’ official Twitter account.
Raleigh, nicknamed “Big Dumper,” reached the record-breaking total with a home run during a game on the specified date. This surpasses the previous record for home runs by a catcher in a single season. The Mariners celebrated the accomplishment with the hashtag #TridentsUp.
The importance of Raleigh’s achievement lies in the traditionally offensive role of catchers within baseball. While power-hitting catchers have emerged in recent years, reaching 49 home runs represents an unprecedented level of offensive production for the position. Raleigh’s performance has quickly made him a fan favorite in Seattle and a key component of the Mariners’ lineup.
Further details regarding the game in which Raleigh hit his 49th home run, including the opposing team and specific pitch details, were not immediately available. However, the Mariners’ social media post confirms the date and the historical nature of the accomplishment.
