Seattle Mariners Cal Raleigh hit his 31st home run of the season. The two leagues combined to solidify their dominance.
Raleigh played as the third designated hitter on the last day of the three away games against the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field on the 23rd (Korea time), and led his team to a 14-6 victory with two hits, two RBIs, two walks and three runs in three at-bats, including one home run.
MLB.com highlighted Raleigh's performance on the day, saying, `Raleigh hit his 31st home run and continued his ridiculous run.
Raleigh unleashed a cannon in his first at-bat in the top of the first inning. Raleigh, a one-out first baseman hit after leadoff JP Crawford hit a left-handed hit, hit a fastball flowing into the middle of Cubs right-hander Colin Ray's 93.8-mile first pitch and well over the center fence. The parabolic ball, which stretched out at a firing angle of 36 degrees and a hitting speed of 105 miles, was inserted 440 feet away from the stands behind the fence in the middle.

The bench, who led Cincinnati's heyday in the 1970s called the `Big Red Machine" is closely watching Raleigh's performance in a recent interview with USA Today. His play is good. I love watching every play he makes. very impressive" he once praised.
Seattle has 20 games left in the first half, so it can also aim for the club's record of most home runs in the first half of the season, which Ken Griffey Jr. wrote in 1988. He is also poised to break down San Francisco Giants Barry Bonds' 39 home runs in 2001, the most in the first half of the Major League Baseball.
Bonds hit 73 home runs that year, setting a season record. Raleigh can hit 66 home runs if he keeps his current pace. Raleigh, the home run leader in both leagues, is four ahead of second-place New York Yankees Aaron Judge.
MLB.com broke Roger Maris' record of 61 home runs in 1961 by hitting 70 home runs by Mark Maguire in '98, and that year, they competed with Sammy Sosa in a hot cannon competition. Coincidentally, it was Sunday on June 22 (local time) of that year, and Maguire and Sosa were hitting 33 and 30 home runs.'

Raleigh only tries to turn the ball into a strong barrel after the game. I'm trying not to miss a real pitch. Isn't this a rough place in the Major League?"
"He knows what happens when he's good," Seattle manager Dan Wilson said. He hit his first ball in his first at-bat and connected it to the 31st arch. "He's making history, and it's good to see him as a coach."He's a smart player. Even in the second half of the game, he is not nervous and tries not to chase the ball out of the strike zone. He is maintaining his basic batting mindset" he complimented.
Raleigh, a third-round draft pick in 2018, made his big league debut in 2021 and took over as the starting catcher in 2022. Although his power was excellent, Raleigh, who hit less accurately, seems to have entered the MVP competition with Judge in earnest this season, hitting career highs in batting average, on-base percentage and OPS.
As of today, he has a batting average of 0.276 (77 hits in 279 at-bats), 31 home runs, 66 RBIs, 55 runs, 45 walks, 0.383 on-base percentage, 0.659 slugging percentage, and 1.042 OPS. He ranks first in RBIs, second in runs scored, slugging percentage, and OPS in the AL.
