Seattle Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh is the latest player to commit to suiting up for the United States at the 2026 World Baseball Classic.

Raleigh's commitment to Team USA, announced Monday, comes on the strength of a torrid first half of the MLB season. He set an American League record by hitting 38 home runs before the All-Star Game.

Raleigh was named to his first All-Star Game and will participate in the Home Run Derby on Monday night.

He also leads the major leagues with 82 RBIs and sports a .259 batting average. In parts of five MLB seasons, all with Seattle, Raleigh has amassed 131 homers, 87 doubles, 333 RBIs, a .226 average and a .478 slugging percentage over 558 games.

Team USA already has superstar commitments from Aaron Judge of the New York Yankees, Bobby Witt Jr. of the Kansas City Royals and ace pitcher Paul Skenes of the Pittsburgh Pirates.

The World Baseball Classic will be played from March 5-17.
