The North Carolina native felt right at home during this year’s MLB All-Star festivities, where he was taking part in the Home Run Derby on Monday night and the American League team’s starting catcher on Tuesday, in Atlanta.

Cal beat out the A’s Brent Rooker to advance to the semifinals and then toppled Pittsburgh’s Oneil Cruz to reach the finals.

The Mariners star included his father and brother in his All-Star festivities moment as a way to thank his dad for the role he played in his career. He said,

“It’s just a great accomplishment and I think that every dad that’s had a kid, this is what they dreamed about,” “And as a dad, you kind of dream about it. To see it come true for your son is unbelievable.”

His father, Todd, played a crucial role in his development, stepping away from his college baseball coaching career to move the family to North Carolina to help his son’s baseball career.

Todd couldn’t contain his excitement as Raleigh hit his 15th home run in the finals of the Home Run Derby, as he lifted his arms in excitement while watching the ball go over the wall.

Speaking before the event, Raleigh said that including his dad was a way for him to show appreciation for all the opportunities his dad gave him. He said,

“My dad gave me the opportunity to be bat boy for his teams. I still remember to this day, some of my favorite memories on the baseball field,” “Trying to do the same thing for him. Hopefully he’s not too nervous tonight.”
