Seattle Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh broke through a prolonged batting slump on Monday night, connecting for his first home run of the 2026 season after struggling through ten consecutive games without a hit. The two-time All-Star, who dominated baseball in 2025 with an impressive 60-home run campaign, is working to regain his offensive momentum early in the new season. The long ball represents a potential turning point for the slugger as he aims to replicate last year's record-breaking performance.
