Mariners’ Star Catcher Cal Raleigh Endures Rocky Start to New Season
Seattle Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh, a previous AL MVP runner-up, is off to an unexpectedly tough start this season, batting just .058 with 14 strikeouts in his first four games. Despite his individual struggles, the Mariners managed to split their opening series against the Cleveland Guardians, with teammates like Brendan Donovan stepping up offensively. Fans remain hopeful that Raleigh will quickly overcome this early slump given the long MLB season and his proven talent.
