Cal Raleigh chose the right time and — most importantly — the right recipient for his first postseason home run of 2025.

On Tuesday, the Seattle Mariners star smashed a 391-foot shot in the top of the ninth inning during Game 3 of the American League Division Series at the Detroit Tigers.

The ball bounced inside the Mariners’ dugout and into the glove of a fan in the stands who was prepared for the moment. The fan was wearing a shirt that read “Dump 61 Here,” the number referring to Raleigh’s combined home run total for the regular season and the playoffs.

After the game, Raleigh posed alongside the fan and handed over a baseball and an autographed bat that read: “Jameson, thanks for cheering us on and catching 61.”

Cameras also showed the fan later putting on another shirt with a similar design, replacing No. 61 with No. 62.

Of the seven players to have hit 60 home runs during the regular season in MLB history, Raleigh is the fourth to have tallied a postseason blast, as well, according to ESPN Research. New York Yankees captain Aaron Judge is the only other player to do so this century.

Raleigh had three RBIs in the M’s 8-4 Game 3 victory, becoming the first catcher in franchise history to do so in a postseason game.

Seattle is now one win away from its first AL Championship Series appearance since 2001.
