For the second time this season, Seattle Mariner catcher Cal Raleigh has been named the American League co-Player of the Week.
Last week, the 28-year-old hit .417 with 10 runs scored, 2 doubles, 5 home runs, 12 runs-batted-in and 3 walks, while going 2-for-2 in stolen base attempts in 6 games during the week.
Raleigh scored 8 runs during the Mariners series win at the Cubs, tying an MLB record for most runs scored by a catcher during a 3-game series. Also on June 21, his 30 homers across the team’s first 75 games of the season made him the fastest player to reach the 30-homer mark since Barry Bonds and Luis Gonzalez in 2001.
Raleigh leads Major League Baseball with 32 homeruns after going deep last (Mon) night in a series-opening win over Minnesota at Target Field.
