## Resource

Cal Raleigh, the Seattle Mariners star catcher, is struggling in the 2026 season after a record-breaking 2025. Despite hitting 60 home runs last year, hes currently on an 0-25 skid, batting just .169 with 7 homers and 18 RBIs. His OPS has dropped from .948 to .595, and hes missed some games. Fans and analysts are puzzled, as Raleigh was known for his defense and sudden power surge. The Mariners are thin behind the plate, and Raleighs loss of hard contact is evident. With over 100 games left in the season, theres still time for Raleigh to turn it around and remind everyone why hes a key player for Seattle.
