MLB Reacts to Cal Raleigh Announcement Amid Historic Season originally appeared on Athlon Sports. It's been a very up-and-down season for the Seattle Mariners, who currently have a plus 11 run differential and a 41-39 record, putting them in second place in the American League West.

Seattle Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh, who leads the majors in homers with 32, says he will participate in next month’s Home Run Derby for the first time.

Raleigh: “It will be extra special for me getting to do it in Atlanta, where I spent a lot of time playing baseball as a kid.”
