As frustrating as things have been for the Seattle’s hitters, it’s difficult to fathom what the lineup would look like without Raleigh’s presence in the middle.

The talk at catcher this time a year ago was how deep it had become, owing to an influx of young talent. But that talent didn't hold up its end of the bargain, and just like that, the position is stretched thin once again.

Seattle Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh has been no stranger to the record books this season and that trend continued during Saturday's 5-4 win against the Texas Rangers.
