Mariners Season Preview 2023

The Seattle Mariners look to build on their return to the postseason in 2022 with another splash in 2023.

Seattle ended a 21-year playoff drought last season led by manager Scott Servais. The Mariners went 90-72 for second place in the American League West but fell short to the Houston Astros in the AL Division Series.

The Mariners lost a few notable players from last year’s squad, including first baseman/designated hitter Carlos Santana. Seattle also lost infielder Abraham Toro, pitcher Erik Swanson, outfielder Jesse Winker, catcher Luis Torrens, outfielder Kyle Lewis, pitcher Matthew Boyd, and outfielder Mitch Haniger.

Mariners center fielder Julio Rodriguez looks to build on his AL Rookie of the Year campaign. Rodriguez hit .284 for 28 home runs and 75 RBI in 2022.

First baseman Ty France looks to build on a solid 2022 season where he hit .274 for 20 home runs and 73 RBI. Catcher Cal Raleigh likewise looks to improve on last season’s .211 average for 27 home runs and 63 RBI. Third baseman Eugenio Suarez had a .236 average with 31 home runs and 87 RBI in 2022.

Seattle also added right fielder Teoscar Hernandez to the lineup. Hernandez hit .267 for 25 home runs and 77 RBI in 2022.

Pitcher Luis Castillo looks to pick up where he left off in 2022 where he had a 4-2 record amid a 3.17 ERA with the Mariners. He joined the team after the Cincinnati Reds traded him last season.

Left-handed pitcher Robbie Ray looks to improve on a 12-12 record where he posted a 3.71 ERA. Fellow lefty Marco Gonzales looks to bounce back from a 10-15 season where he had a 4.13 ERA.

Long Gilbert looks to continue his winning ways after a 13-6 record and 3.20 ERA in 2022. Robbie Ray seeks a winning record after a 12-12 mark in 2022 amid a 3.17 ERA. George Kirby looks to build on an 8-5 record with a 3.39 ERA from last season.
