Seattle Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh experienced a significant period of performance fluctuation during the 2026 season.

In mid-August, Raleigh took personal responsibility for the team’s struggles, describing his own performance as “awful” following a five-game losing streak. At that time, his batting average had dropped to .159, and the Mariners were struggling to remain in postseason contention.

By late August, Raleigh saw a resurgence in performance, recording his first career three-home run game. His three home runs led the Mariners to a 9-2 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies, marking a notable turnaround from his previous statistical decline.
