The accolades keep rolling in for the Seattle Mariners’ dynamic duo, as outfielder Julio Rodríguez and catcher Cal Raleigh have been named to the 2025 Sporting News American League All-Star Team.
Rodríguez, the electrifying center fielder affectionately known as Juliooo, continues to establish himself as one of baseball’s brightest stars. His combination of power, speed, and defense once again made him a cornerstone of the Mariners’ success this season.
Meanwhile, Raleigh — dubbed Big Dumper by fans — earned his spot thanks to his leadership behind the plate and his consistent power at the plate. The Mariners’ backstop has become one of the most productive catchers in the league, both offensively and defensively.
The recognition from Sporting News adds to a growing list of honors for both players, who have helped lead Seattle’s charge toward another postseason appearance.
The Mariners celebrated the announcement on social media, sharing a striking graphic featuring both stars with the caption:

With Rodríguez and Raleigh continuing to shine, the future remains bright in the Pacific Northwest.
