Seattle's Raleigh breaks Mantle's MLB switch-hitter homer mark - Yahoo Sports

Cal Raleigh exploded in Kansas City with two homers, blasting his 55th to break Mickey Mantle s switch hitter mark for a season. The second shot, a 56th, pushed Seattle to a comfortable lead and tied Ken Griffey Jr. for the Mariners single season home run record.

Raleigh s power surge stacks onto a fantasy narrative: elite catcher pop with record chasing upside, while he closes in on Aaron Judge 62 for the AL mark. The development reshapes late season lineups and streaming plans for fantasy managers chasing scarce catcher power.

In plain terms, Raleigh is changing the power dynamic at catcher and amplifying Mariners offense in a season already sprinkled with historic milestones.

With Raleigh s current pace, should fantasy managers push for him as a top catcher rest of season given the scarcity at the position?How does Raleigh s chase of Judge s AL mark affect Mariners lineup construction and fantasy outlook for rest of the season?Which follow up bets or plays emerge from Raleigh s pace and the Mantle Judge benchmarks that fantasy players should consider?If Seattle continues to deploy Raleigh in favor of power heavy matchups, how should fantasy managers adjust their waiver priorities or streaming decisions at catcher?
