Cal Raleigh has now hit a home run *and* a stolen base in three games this year. The only catchers to do it more often in a season… Iván Rodríguez (5) - 1999 Carlton Fisk (4) - 1983 Sandy Alomar (4) - 1994 Russell Martin (4) - 2008 #Mariners

Just two PA’s, against a left-hander no less. But Julio Rodríguez making loud contact and putting the ball in the air both times is encouraging for a hitter who’s been hitting too many grounders and not barreling balls more often. At least, I think it’s encouraging. #Mariners

▶️ Cal Raleigh has been a better hitter this year from both sides of the plate, but his improvement as a RHB is dramatic. Just after the 2018 draft, I saw him in Everett and wrote this, and a lot of scouts echoed the sentiment. Cal has come a long way.

The #Mariners may try to acquire a first baseman this summer. But the market looks relatively thin to this nerd. Four trade candidates to consider. mariners-consigliere.com/p/four-first-b…

It may surprise some to learn that since the onset of one-knee catching passed balls and wild pitches are down and on top of that catchers pop times on throws to second have gotten significantly quicker.
