Cal Raleigh among Noles in MLB playoffs

Cal Raleigh hit 27 home runs for the Mariners in 2022, the most by a catcher in franchise history, but the one that's the most memorable is what clinched a playoff spot for Seattle for the first time since 2001. Raleigh had a relatively quick rise through the Mariners' minor-league organization after his FSU career (.282 career hitter with 32 home runs and 143 RBI from 2016-18).

Now the Mariners begin the best-of-three wild card playoffs at Toronto on Friday. Here's a look at FSU players in the MLB postseason.
