Congratulations are in order for Seattle Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh, who earned his first career All-Star selection on Wednesday night. 'The Big Dumper,' earned the second-most votes in the American League in the first round of voting,

Cal Raleigh has been selected as a starter for the American League at the 2025 MLB All-Star Game, representing the Seattle Mariners as a catcher.

Raleigh is the first Mariners player named an AL All-Star starter since designated hitter Nelson Cruz in 2015 and the first catcher in club history named a starter in an All-Star game. Mariners manager Dan Wilson is the only other Seattle catcher named to an All-Star team (as a reserve) in 1996.
