Cal Raleigh’s 2025 season has become a power coronation. He’s sitting at 56 homers with 11 games remaining, on a pace for 60 and chasing the Mariners’ single-season marks while rewriting the record book for switch-hitters. He’s already passed Mantle for the most homers in a season by a switch-hitter and sits atop the AL RBI chart as Seattle rides a home-run tear into the stretch.

His remarkable May–June run, 101 runs and 115 RBIs, and 30 road HRs illustrate a season defined by elite power, timely production, and a shift in how fantasy managers value catchers with multi-positional appeal and monster counting stats.

Nationals aim to split the rain-delayed doubleheader with Atlanta, sending MacKenzie Gore against Chris Sale. Abrams and James Wood sit; Nasim Nunez leads off, with Daylen Lile, Jacob Young and Dylan Crews in the outfield. Josh Bell DHs; Andres Chaparro at first; Riley Adams behind the plate. Braves counter with Marcell Ozuna at DH, Sandy Leon catching, and Nick Allen and Nacho Alvarez added. Washington looks to halt a skid after a Pirates series.

Polanco’s late-season surge has Seattle riding a hot bat. Since June, his power has returned and his hitting has become the Mariners’ engine, especially in the clutch. He’s trading homers for doubles as the weather warms, and his two-strike, patient approach keeps rallies alive and lines Seattle up for continued wins.

In high-leverage spots he’s delivering like a star, with a .333/.402/.559 line with runners in scoring position and a historically strong wRC+ in those moments. Manager Dan Wilson has praised his discipline and timing, underscoring Polanco as a fantasy anchor as Seattle leans on him in the heart of the order.
