Cal Raleigh capped a late-season power surge, belting his 55th and 56th homers to pass Mickey Mantle’s 54 for the season’s top switch-hitter mark. A milestone that cements Raleigh as a rare lefty-power source and ties Seattle’s push to baseball lore.

64 years after Mantle’s blast, Carl Yastrzemski watched from left field while his grandson Mike—then with Kansas City—watched Raleigh’s feat from the same corner. The moment threads lineage and history, reminding fans how baseball history travels through generations.

Trent Grisham turned in a career-high season pace with 30 homers and just nine doubles, a combo that places him in a historic club alongside Kingman, McGwire and Stanton. A single extra double would push him out of that elite group, underscoring a dramatic power surge that elevates his fantasy ceiling while keeping RBI potential and run scoring tied to lineup protection.

The power spike signals a genuine breakthrough rather than luck, reshaping how fantasy managers evaluate his upside and risk. Monitor stay-in-lineup, park effects, and his continued swing changes as the season unfolds to gauge whether this burst can be sustained.
