Come on. Raleigh has had one great year but his average is Mendoza line stuff. Piazza is a 1st ballot HOFer and usually hit over .300 with 30+ HRs. Piazza is a top 5 catcher all time.

Top five hitting catcher.
No one ever mistook Piazza for a Gold Glover.

Mike Piazza also loved the LONG ball off the field.

he needs to do it about 5 more years to even be in that conversation.

.226 batting average for his career. Pump the breaks.

Family in New York are long time and devout Met fans. Piazza had amazing numbers yet was a massive choke artist when it meant literally anything especially come postseason time.

Except for the part where Piazza and his contemporaries hit for not only power but also average. Are HRs really up? Should be with everybody swinging for the fences.

.226 is well below league average of .245
You can understand the game has changed and also acknowledge that when he isn’t hitting HRs, he is making a ton of outs (as compared to an elite hitter like Aaron Judge, for instance).

Mike piazza was known for being a power bat behind the plate but it appears cal he’s even more pop. Does tBigDumper get in the hall first ballot?
Piazza played in the steroid era

Cal Raleigh is definitely more likable than Mike Piazza.

Mike Piazza also had a HOF mustache.

No

He’s not tho

And to think piazza was drafted in the 62nd rd. By lasorda. Simply as a favor to his father.
I forgot how great his numbers were. Even better than I recalled.
