Cal Raleigh’s once-dominant season is in freefall—after smashing 60 homers and a .948 OPS last year, he’s now hitting just 11 homers with a .579 OPS, struggling especially against high-velocity fastballs. Pitchers have zeroed in on his weakness, ramping up velocity—he’s now seeing 23.7% of pitches at 95+ mph (up from 19%), yet his power output has cratered to just two homers and a .137 average on those pitches. The Mariners’ offense feels the sting as their top hitter becomes a liability, turning a powerhouse lineup into an uncertain one.
