But Cal isn't just any catcher; he's also an amazing hitter! He's known for hitting the ball really, really far, like a rocket ship blasting off. People call him 'Big Dumper' because of his powerful home runs!

Cal has some incredible baseball superpowers! He's a 'switch hitter,' which means he can bat from both the left and right sides of the plate. Imagine being able to write with both your left and right hand equally well! He's also a fantastic catcher, which is a very important job. He can throw the ball super fast and is great at stopping runners from scoring.

Cal Raleigh has won some really cool awards for being so good at baseball. He won a Gold Glove Award, which is given to the best defensive players.

One of the most exciting things Cal does is hit home runs! He hit so many home runs that he broke a record for catchers and switch hitters. He even hit 60 home runs in one season, which is more than most players hit in their whole careers! That's like hitting a home run every single game for almost the whole season!
