Raleigh is the first player this season to the 30-homer mark. Yes, a catcher beat the likes of Aaron Judge and Shohei Ohtani to 30. This is now Raleigh's third 30-homer season, joining Hall of Famers Mike Piazza (nine times), Johnny Bench (four times) and Roy Campanella (four times) as the only catchers in history with three 30-homer seasons.

Seattle Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh surpassed legendary Johnny Bench for most homers before the All-Star break by a primary catcher when he hit two against the Chicago Cubs in Friday's 9-4 victory. Raleigh has 29 homers to break a record that stood for 55 years.
