Cal Raleigh, known as "Big Dumper," has made history by winning the Home Run Derby, marking the first time a catcher has claimed the title. His journey from a batboy shadowing his father, Todd, to an All-Star player showcases a familial bond that has shaped his career. Raleigh's impressive performance included 38 home runs in the first half of the season, leading the majors and showcasing his dual-threat as both a power hitter and a defensive specialist, having won a Platinum Glove award. The Seattle Mariners are now riding the wave of excitement surrounding Raleigh, who could potentially break several records, including the single-season home run record for catchers.

As he reflects on his achievements, Raleigh plans to continue focusing on his game, remaining humble and driven. The support from his family, especially his younger brother, Todd “T” Raleigh, has been instrumental in his journey. This moment is a culmination of years of hard work, and with the second half of the season approaching, Raleigh is poised to solidify his place among baseball's elite.
