Josh Naylor is the first MLB player with 4+ stolen bases and 1+ home run in his first 4 games with a franchise since Willie Bloomquist for the Arizona Diamondbacks from April 1-5, 2011.

Naylor: former D’Back ➑️ Mariner

Three Mariners who are All-Stars this season (Julio RodrΓ­guez, Randy Arozarena, Cal Raleigh) homered in the same game for first time since July 27, 2001 (Ichiro Suzuki, John Olerud, Bret Boone). That’s 24 years ago, tomorrow. What’s tomorrow? ICHIRO Baseball Hall of Fame induction day! #TheMayerGWS

Logan Evans is the first MLB starter whose name contains letters of the word β€œANGELS” to win his first career game against the Angels since Garrett Olson on July 27, 2008. BONUS: You can spell β€œANGEL” from Jorge Polanco’s name (homered). πŸ˜‡ #TheMayerGWS

Cal Raleigh hit 2 HR & grand slam on 4️⃣ year anniversary of MLB debut (July 11, 2021). Cal also became seventh player with 38+ HR in team’s first 94 G. The first: Babe Ruth.

What else do Cal & Babe have in common? Both made MLB debut on July 11! 🀯 (July 11, 1914). #TheMayerGWS

Jorge Polanco tonight & Carlos Santana (w/CLE on 4/8/25) scored the only run in a 1-0 win on their birthday. It’s the third time in MLB history that’s happened multiple times in a season, joining:

1916: Dots Miller & Dave Robertson
1968: Duke Sims & Ron Swoboda

My best case for Cal Raleigh as American League MVP so far isn’t just that he leads MLB with 32 home runs and 68 RBI. It’s not just that he’s on pace for 67 HR, 143 RBI, 120 runs, 95 walks & 19 stolen bases. Cal also leads the AL in Win Probability Added (WPA), the WINNING stat…

24.06.2025 15:38 β€” πŸ‘ 43    πŸ” 5    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

CAL RALEIGH: 32 HR+68 RBI = πŸ’―.

Cal is the second switch-hitter in MLB history to have his HR+RBIβ‰₯100 this early into the season (77 G). He joins Mickey Mantle (29 HR+71 RBI = πŸ’―) in the 1956 Yankees’ first 77 G. Mantle also did it vs the Senators/Twins franchise. He won AL MVP in β€˜56. πŸ‘€ #TheMayerGWS

Cal Raleigh (18 TB) & Donovan Solano (16 TB): first teammate duo with 16+ total bases in a 3-game series against the Cubs in Wrigley Field history. The Cubs have done it once at home: Derrek Lee (17) & Alfonso Soriano (16) from Sept. 21-23, 2007 vs. Pittsburgh. 🌭 #TheMayerGWS
