The big switch-hitting catcher leads MLB with 33 home runs and 71 RBI. Maybe he needed this, though. On Tuesday night, Raleigh went 0-for-4 with four strikeouts, by far his worst game of the season.

This marks Raleigh’s first career All-Star selection and the first time a Seattle player has started in the Midsummer Classic since designated hitter Nelson Cruz in 2015.

Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh, MLB's home run leader, and AL League Rookie of the Year candidate Jacob Wilson of the Athletics are among the All-Star Game starters.
