Cal Raleigh Homers From Both Sides Of The Plate On Thursday
4 months agoSeattle Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh had a monster game on Thursday, going 3-for-5 with two homers in an 11-0 rout of the Los Angeles Angels. Raleigh added four RBI and three runs to round out his line. His first homer came in the third inning, when he hit as a lefty. He then turned around to hit from the right side and smashed another homer in the sixth inning. The switch hitter now has four homers in his past three games. Raleigh has done exactly what was expected of him this season, with 19 homers and 59 RBI helping to cloud a dismal .215 AVG. He has also managed to chip in five stolen bases, which are a nice little gift for his fantasy owners. He should continue to be one of the best sources of power from the catcher position, although the steals are sure to dry up.
