Cal Raleigh Powers Up in Mariners' Loss
by Jesse Garcia | Mariners Correspondent | Thu, Aug 8th 8:26am EDT
Cal Raleigh went 1-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in the Mariners' 6-2 loss to the Tigers.
Fantasy Impact:
This performance, highlighted by his 24th homer of the season, underscores his power potential despite a less-than-ideal .213 batting average. Raleigh's ability to drive in runs (69 RBI in 109 games) remains a key asset for fantasy managers, especially those in need of power numbers from the catcher position. However, his high strikeout rate (0.299) and low BABIP (.247) suggest that improvements in contact and on-base skills could significantly boost his overall fantasy value. As it stands, Raleigh should be considered a power-first option, particularly valuable in formats that reward home runs and RBI.
