All right, time for our Golden Era Star of the Week. I've got two guys for you. I have a feeling I know which direction you're going to go. We've got Cal Raleigh of the Seattle Mariners or Corbin Carroll of the Arizona Diamondbacks. Both guys out west having really, really good seasons.

Yeah, I'm going to go with Cal Raleigh, man. I mean, it doesn't matter whether it's the Big Kahuna, the Big Shore, or the Big Lebowski. I'm going to go with the Big Dumper because this guy... Unbelievable, buddy. 58 home runs he's on pace for, which would shatter the record by Salvia Perez, which was 47 by a catcher which was set just a few years ago.

Johnny Bench is the greatest catcher of all time. The most home runs he hit in a year was 45. So it looks like Raleigh's going to obliterate it. Eight home runs in 26 games at T-Mobile Park. He hit 11 in 77 games last year. So, so much for not being able to hit in Seattle. He's proven that you can do so. And if he gets one more home run...

He's going to have his fourth 20 home run season in his first five seasons. You're talking about a list with only Mike Piazza and Roy Campanella as catchers who have done that. And you and I can appreciate the nerdy aspects of it. His pitch framing is outstanding. He's among the top four catchers. The other guys are guys known for their defensive prowess, like Hedges and Alejandro Kirk.

But he's right there with them in terms of pitch framing. He's top five in caught stealing percentage. He's a gun for an arm. His catcher ERA is one of the best in baseball. Again, he's catching that great staff in Seattle, but you see the numbers. They improve when Raleigh's behind the plate. He knows that his Sutherland guys like George Kirby can be a little bit mercurial.

Logan Gilbert's one of the best pitchers in baseball. And you see the emergence of Wu and obviously once they get back Miller. So when you add it all up, he's the best catcher in baseball.

Something about guys in baseball with the name Cal with the last name starting with an R. Something about that works. Cal Raleigh may be destined for some real greatness like Cal Ripken Jr. We'll see, but it's been an incredible start to his season. And Adnan, as always, it's great having you here on the Pitch Clock. Let's head back to our game between me and Chris. All right, last round.
