Ever wonder why your MLB feed has been exploding with Cal Raleigh and the All‑Star Game? It’s not just your algorithm messing with you — these are two of the biggest storylines in baseball this season. From a power‑hitting catcher making history to a never‑before‑seen All‑Star Game finish, July 2025 has been full of “did that really just happen?” moments.
Let’s break it down.
Cal Raleigh’s 40 HR Record
Seattle Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh isn’t just having a breakout season — he’s making history in a way that even legends couldn’t. On July 26, he crushed his 40th home run of the year, making him:
- The first catcher in MLB history to reach 40 home runs before August.
- The first switch‑hitting catcher ever to hit that milestone this early.
Let that sink in. Catchers spend their days blocking wild pitches, calling games, and taking foul tips off the mask — not putting up slugger‑level numbers.
Even iconic names like Mike Piazza or Johnny Bench didn’t do this. And while Javy López holds the single‑season record for catchers (43 HRs in 2003), Raleigh is on pace to blow past it with time to spare.
Did you know? Before Raleigh, no catcher had ever reached 40 home runs before mid‑August. He did it in July — with two months left to pad his total.
And this isn’t empty‑calorie power. Mariners fans know many of these homers came in game‑deciding moments, delivering clutch wins while juggling one of the most demanding roles in baseball. It’s no surprise analysts are whispering “MVP” when his name comes up.
By the way, if you’ve ever struggled to revisit old highlights you liked or bookmarked on Twitter, you’re not alone — here’s why those bookmarks sometimes vanish.
The 2025 All‑Star Swing‑Off Drama
If Raleigh’s season is a history lesson, the 2025 All‑Star Game felt like a test drive of baseball’s future.
For the first time ever, a tied All‑Star Game skipped extra innings and went to a brand‑new Swing‑Off tiebreaker. Imagine the tension of a playoff game colliding with the chaos of a Home Run Derby. Each team picked their slugger, the clock started ticking, and the stadium held its breath.
Enter Kyle Schwarber. If anyone was built for this, it was him. In just a few swings, Schwarber sent a moonshot into the stands, sealing the National League’s victory and earning All‑Star MVP honors.
Fun fact: Within 24 hours, “All‑Star Swing‑Off” became one of the most‑searched baseball terms on Google. Love it or hate it, this new format got people talking.
Fans were hooked. Social media lit up with highlight clips, debates, and memes. Traditionalists grumbled about breaking norms, but even they couldn’t deny it: the Swing‑Off was electric.
