He wasn’t a top-tier fantasy draft target among catchers—names like Will Smith (Los Angeles Dodgers), Adley Rutschman (Baltimore Orioles), and William Contreras (Milwaukee Brewers) went earlier—but Raleigh’s power surge has made him a league-winning asset in deeper formats and daily fantasy alike.

The Seattle Mariners catcher, cheekily nicknamed Big Dumper because of the size of his derriere, came into his own the last two seasons, finishing 18th and 12th in American League Most Valuable Player voting in 2023 and 2024, respectively.

Cal Raleigh added another impressive accomplishment to his ever-growing resume in the Seattle Mariners 4-3 loss against the Baltimore Orioles on Thursday. The Mariners weren't able to earn the win, but Raleigh had a good day.
