Mariners’ Cal Raleigh has historic hot stats while rest of Seattle lineup is ice cold image

Cal Raleigh is on the hottest of hot streaks.

It hasn't rubbed off on any of his Seattle Mariners teammates.

In fact, the disparity has made history.

Raleigh has 10 home runs and 20 RBI over the last 15 games for Seattle. He hit two homers Saturday night to push his season total to 26 HRs, best in baseball.

And, well, the rest of the Mariners can't produce any power or run-creating.

It's really hard to believe Raleigh is this hot and the Mariners are just 4-11 over their last 15, but that's what happens when only one guy in a nine-man lineup is hitting.

Raleigh could end up the MVP of the American League given his potency at the plate and his premium-level defense at catcher.

But unless his teammates can keep up even a bit, the Mariners' season will end in disappointment.
