Cal Raleigh is on the hottest of hot streaks.
It hasn't rubbed off on any of his Seattle Mariners teammates.
In fact, the disparity has made history.
Check out this stat:
Leaders for Seattle over its last 15 games (4-11 record):
HR: Raleigh 10, then 7 tied with 1
RBI: Raleigh 20, then 2 tied with 5
This is the first time in MLB history a team had a 15-game span where one player had 10+ HR & 20+ RBI while no one else had more than 1 HR or 5 RBI. pic.twitter.com/zoN1V12RPO

Raleigh has 10 home runs and 20 RBI over the last 15 games for Seattle. He hit two homers Saturday night to push his season total to 26 HRs, best in baseball.
And, well, the rest of the Mariners can't produce any power or run-creating.
It's really hard to believe Raleigh is this hot and the Mariners are just 4-11 over their last 15, but that's what happens when only one guy in a nine-man lineup is hitting.
Raleigh could end up the MVP of the American League given his potency at the plate and his premium-level defense at catcher.
But unless his teammates can keep up even a bit, the Mariners' season will end in disappointment.
