Avoiding Seattle Mariners' Raleigh Not So Simple for Toronto
The Blue Jays learned the downside of pitching around Seattle Mariners slugger Cal Raleigh during Game 2 of the ALCS.
Two years ago, Toronto Blue Jays manager John Schneider made a notable comment about Seattle Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh. After Raleigh had hit two home runs in a comeback, extra-innings win in Toronto in April 2023, Schneider said:
He’s hitting .200. I know he’s done damage against us. … He’s obviously got big damage potential and he’s got a lot of strikeout potential, too, and when you execute your pitches, you usually get the job done.
This quote has become infamous, especially considering Raleigh's potential as a future MLB single-season home run record holder for catchers and switch-hitters.
