While eight teams duke it out in best-of-three Wild Card Series from coast to coast, Seattle can watch and wait for two AL Central teams to finish their fight and see who will come to T-Mobile Park for Game 1 of the ALDS on Saturday. Over the season, Seattle proved itself a squad studded with stars up and down the diamond. But above all others, three stood out as the biggest stalwarts time and time again. ### Cal Raleigh: .247/.359/.589, 60 home runs, 125 RBIs, 110 runs, 97 walks, 7.2 bWAR, 9.1 fWAR. Seattle saw something truly incredible in the 2025 season. The “summer of Cal” was a remarkably consistent run of record-breaking play that will go down in history as one of the greatest catching seasons of all time, perhaps only second to Buster Posey’s 2012 in that all-time list. And *60* home runs? I do not doubt that the entire 21st century will pass before another catcher hits 60 big flies. It wouldn’t be all that surprising if a batter hits .400 or a presidential candidate wins 400 electoral votes before another primary catcher goes deep 60 times in a season. Cal Raleigh hit 49 home runs while *playing* catcher, no other primary catcher has ever hit 49 home runs in a season *total.* He wrecked the Mariners single-season homer record (previously held by Ken Griffey Jr.), the home run record by a switch-hitter (previously held by Mickey Mantle), and joined the company of just six other ballplayers in the 60-bomb club. It’s not like that’s the only thing going for him. Raleigh’s .359 on base percentage is 21st in the majors while his .589 slugging percentage is fourth. His .342 isolated power is second in MLB this year, tied for 70th all time, and is in a tie for third highest ever by a catcher. Before 2025, Cal Raleigh was a regional hero who flew under the radar nationally. Now, he is a superstar. ### Bryan Woo: 25 straight starts with six or more innings pitched and two or less walks. If you look up “perfection” in an online dictionary, you will see a video of Bryan Woo’s pitching mechanics. I’m not sure if that’s true, but it probably should be. That perfection in process produced some pretty good outcomes on the mound, turning Bryan Woo into the ace of the Mariners staff in 2025\. His season was one of incredible consistency, logging quality starts nearly every time he went on the mound. By mid-season, people began to take notice of an incredible streak: Woo had, in every single start to that point, gone at least six innings and given up two or less walks. On Aug. 22, Woo became the first pitcher since Zack Greinke to open a season with 25 or more starts of six or more innings. And unlike Greinke, Woo hadn’t given up more than two walks in any of these starts. The last pitcher to begin a season with 25 or more starts of six innings or more and two walks or less was Cy Young in 1905, though that streak was interspersed with relief appearances for Young. Still, being in sole company with the pitching award’s namesake is a feat that doesn’t happen often. Woo finished the regular season with a 15-7 record, 2.94 ERA, 3.47 FIP, 5.50 strikeout-to-walk ratio, and 21 quality starts. Had he not suffered his minor injury after the fifth inning in Houston, he almost certainly would have gotten his 22nd quality start on that day, which would have tied him for the MLB lead. Given that his next scheduled start was against the *Rockies*, he would have been very likely to finish with a league-leading 23 quality starts on the season. But Woo isn’t even close to needing such hypotheticals on his side. ### Second Half Julio: .290/.341/.560, 14 doubles, 18 home runs, 45 RBIs, 43 runs, 13 stolen bases. Julio Rodríguez always seems to put it together after the All-Star Break. Perhaps it’s the heat in July and August that gets him up and running, or maybe it’s just random chance that the same trend has replicated itself over four straight seasons. The variance likely has something to do with the disconnect between elite bat speed and low contact rate, and since the very last series of the first half, Rodríguez has been on the good side of that variance. The turning point for Rodríguez was when, after the Mariners were swept in spine-snapping fashion in New York, he declared he would not participate in the All-Star Game; rather, he would spend his break working on getting back into top form. Rodríguez proceeded to hit three home runs in as many days, go 6-12 with four walks, and enter the break having finally entered a hot streak. For the record, Rodríguez had already been a deserving All-Star due to his outstanding defense (and even while slumping, he was still an above-average hitter). But Rodríguez, more than anyone else in the city, knew the mountainous expectations Seattle had for him. Extrapolating his 65-game second half out to 160 games—the total amount of games he played in 2025—would give 34 doubles, 44 home runs, 111 RBIS, 106 runs, and 32 stolen bases. Rodríguez’ *actual* full season numbers were pretty good, too, amounting to a .267/.324/.474 slash line, 31 doubles, 32 home runs, 30 stolen bases, 95 RBIs, and 106 runs scored. He had 6.8 bWAR and 5.7 fWAR, both at least tied for career highs. Plenty of advanced defensive metrics are high on 2025 Julio Rodriguez, who had nine Defensive Runs Saved over average in 2025 and finished the year at 97th percentile in Outs Above Average. He’s also 24\. That, combined with his year-over-year improvements, might be the most promising stat of them all.
