In a season where all eyes are on explosive moments, Seattle Mariners’ Cal Raleigh just shook the entire Major League Baseball by hitting 65 home runs, including the regular season and postseason – an unprecedented record in American League history.
According to the official announcement from Yahoo Sports, this achievement makes Raleigh the only player in AL history to hit such a large “combined” number of home runs in a single season, surpassing all the legends who have ever stepped on the field. One fan commented on Twitter: “Not everyone can do this – Cal Raleigh is rewriting history!”
A recent image capturing the moment Raleigh left the field with a determined look in his eyes, helmet pointed forward, Seattle blue jersey clearly showing the team logo, has gone viral on social media. More than just a hit, every time Raleigh touches the ball, it is a resounding sound, a testament to his extraordinary power and absolute concentration.
Notably, this number of 65 home runs is not only counted in the regular season but also includes postseason games, showing that Raleigh not only shines in normal conditions but also knows how to shine when the pressure is at its peak. In the past, many great players of the AL have hit dozens of home runs, but no one has been able to combine the regular season and playoffs to create a “comprehensive” achievement that surpasses all limits like Raleigh.
Analysts believe that Raleigh’s success comes from the perfect combination of modern hitting technique and excellent pitch selection ability. “Cal not only hits hard but also smart. He knows exactly when to wait and when to strike,” a famous commentator of MLB shared.
This event not only exploded Mariners fans but also shocked the entire AL. Every previous record pales in comparison to this impressive number. Fans are constantly sharing highlight clips, discussing the possibility of breaking the home run record for future generations. A viral TikTok video recording Raleigh’s 65th home run has reached millions of views in just a few hours.
However, besides the joy, there are still discussions surrounding the comparison of Raleigh with other historical monuments of AL such as Babe Ruth or Roger Maris. Some experts emphasize: “It would be unfair to make a direct comparison, but this achievement certainly puts Raleigh in the ranks of MLB legends.”
With the spirit of constantly moving forward, Cal Raleigh continues to be an inspiration for young players, proving that the combination of natural talent and hard work can take you to unprecedented heights. And if the postseason continues, Mariners fans will follow his every step, hoping for more historic home runs to be recorded in the MLB annals.
One season, one record, and a new legend was born – Cal Raleigh, who broke all limits and redefined the power of the American League.
