Cal Raleigh blasted his historic 54th home run of the Major League Baseball season on Sunday, setting two marks in the first inning against the visiting Los Angeles Angels.

The 28-year-old American catcher and designated hitter matched MLB legend Mickey Mantle for the most homers in a season by a switch-hitter.

The blast was also Raleigh's 43rd homer this year while playing as catcher, which gave him the MLB record for most homers in a season by a catcher, breaking the mark he shared with Atlanta's Javy Lopez from 2003.

After Seattle's Randy Arozarena singled off Angels starter Kyle Hendricks, left-handed hitting Raleigh smashed a sinker ball 409 feet over the left-field fence for a homer into the Mariners' bullpen.

It marked Raleigh's 34th homer this season while batting left-handed.
