While Major League Baseball's attention is focused on two superstars, Shohei Ohtani (LA Dodgers) and Aaron Judge (New York Yankees), an unexpected player is leading the Major League home run race. Seattle Mariners catcher Karl Raleigh (29) is heading for a new history in the Major League.

Raleigh started the game against the Los Angeles Angels at Anaheim Angel Stadium in California on the 8th (Korea time), and played in five at-bats with two home runs and four RBIs. With two home runs, he recorded his 25th and 26th home runs, keeping his place as the lone top home run in the Major League. He widened the gap with second-ranked Ohtani (23) and third-ranked Judge (21).

Raleigh's homerun shot exploded from the first inning. With Jorge Polanco's hit to the center and Julio Rodriguez's hit to the left, he rolled up a 96.8-mile sinker on the second pitch and hit a three-run homer over the right-center field. It was his 25th homerun.

Then, he hit Angels closer Kenley Jansen in the top of the ninth inning when his team was losing 5-8. He hit a sinker that was 93.4 miles high on the fourth pitch at an unfavorable count of one ball and two strikes, once again hitting the right fence. He completed a multi-homer game with a batting speed of 105.9 miles (170.4 kilometers) and a driving distance of 427 feet (130 meters).

Raleigh hit 26 home runs in 63 games. According to statistics expert Sarah Reims of MLB.com , the player who hit the most home runs in the catcher position before the All-Star break was Johnny Bench in 1970, who hit 28 home runs in 87 games. It's not even July for Raleigh to hit 26 home runs in 63 games. It's only a matter of time before he broke the Johnny Bench record. "Yahoo Sports" introduced Raleigh as the player who hit the most home runs as a catcher before July, surpassing the legendary Johnny Bench with 26 home runs.

The "Stats Center" also introduced Raleigh's home run pace, summoning legendary hitters. The players who hit the most home runs in the first 63 games were introduced, followed by Babe Ruth (30) in 1928, Ken Griffey Jr. (29) in 1994, Babe Ruth (19 1932), Jimmy Fox (1932), Mickey Mantle 1956 and Reggie Jackson (27) in 1969.

Currently, it is possible to set a new record for the most home runs by a catcher in a single season in Major League history. The most home runs in a catcher's season are Salvador Perez's 48 in 2021. The 40th home run itself is only eight times out of six. They are Roy Campanella in 1953, Johnny Bench in 1970 and 1972, Todd Pundley in 1996, Mike Piazza in 1997 and 1999, Harvey Lopes in 2003, and Salvador Perez in 2021.

Currently, he is a catcher with 66 home runs. He is truly remarkable because he is writing a new history of home runs as a catcher who has a lot of physical burden. This year, he played 49 games as a catcher and 13 games as a designated hitter, and hit 24 home runs, or most of his 26 home runs as a catcher. As a designated hitter, he hit two home runs.

"MLB.com " said, "Raleigh is on a historic track. While Perez had 15 of his 48 homers in 2021, Raleigh has most of his homers on the day he shows his capability as a catcher," adding, "López's best record was 42 homers as a catcher in 2003.

Lee signed a six-year contract worth 105 million U.S. dollars (143 billion won) ahead of this season. It was his first time to qualify for salary adjustment this year, but he was recognized for his value by signing a large contract with Seattle. Since his debut in 2021, he has been showing off his offense with 27 home runs in 2022, 30 home runs in 2023, and 34 home runs in 2024, and last year, he won the American League catcher Gold Glove to Platinum Glove, which is considered the best defensive player among the Gold Glove winners. 온라인카지노

Currently, he is writing a new history in the Major League. At a time when massive contracts are being made, Raleigh's contract seems to be a bargain.
