Cal Raleigh continues to refine game after monster 2019
Depending on whether you’re more of a MLB Pipeline or Baseball America or Fangraphs person, the Mariners have between five or six of the best 100 prospects in baseball. Catcher Cal Raleigh, for now, is not one of them.
But when you look at the skill-set—and the numbers they produced—that will likely change soon.
“He has above- to well-above average raw power, he has very good strike zone awareness,” GM Jerry Dipoto said, “he has soft hands behind the plate. He grades out as an above-average receiver with an above-average ability to call a game.”
Oh, and he‘s a switch-hitter. Not bad, huh?
