5 things we see in spring workouts in Seattle Marinrs – Seattle Sport

Finally, there is a baseball. Steels and decks report to Seattle Marinors Camp, and work as a team begins in Peoria.

ESPN’s Kurkjian breaks Seattle Marinors’ path to playoffs in 2025.

We at Seattle Sport will arrive next week with the reporting of spring training early on Thursday and the first Cactus League game, aired Friday. Brock and Salk will come from the back porch of February 17-21, and Wyman and Bob will follow next week.

I’ll be there until the last day. Here are some of the things that are of interest that I will look close or look for.

Spring workouts in Seattle Marinrs

1. It is not the same on the top

Although there were not many changes to the list, there is a major change with manager Dan Wilson, who runs his first camp.

The previous Captain Scott Servayus was involved in the cultivation of spring culture and routine from the first day nine years ago, and while there were hits and gaps along the way, everything was edited in an effective bearing with a good feeling. What does Wilson keep? What does it seem to improve or change? What does this look like, it sounds in year 1? Are the schedules the same and is it smooth? Do they have the same meetings with both players? Are there different workouts?

We have already heard that this spring they would like to get hit adhesives to have more ready for the season when the bearing is drilled. How is this done and will it have an impact? How is Edgar Martinez, who is now the director of hitting the strategy, and the new shock coach Kevin Seitzer interacts and works together and how is their message from hits?

Of course, the most important messages will come from the manager. Last August, Wilson had to hit the ground running with a little preparation. He has now had the benefit not only of the experience he has had in the club management in the last six weeks of last season, but also time to absorb the tidal wave of information with which he was struck and planned how he wanted to look his team and how his team looks like To send it.

Next week, before the full team will take the field for the first full workout, Wilson will turn to all the included members of the camp, staff and front office. What will be his message? What will he ask for his players? How does it work out and how does it look on and off the pitch?

2. Falling

Let’s see if I have this right. At the first base we have an outfield and maybe a veteran player. Second base, a player of a gold glove in his best position and probably a limited time player in Bigs. A short stop, a player depending on a big retreat. On the third basis is the second founder to put great defense numbers. Finally, a platinum glove (and should be a silver servant) Ironman behind the plate in Cal Raleigh.

Relic and the first founder Luke Raleley is the Group Awards, with the only question of Ralei how much you can let him play. No one should know better than his former hunting manager Wilson, who developed a close-up relationship with roles as he developed in minors. The question will be the same, but for various reasons.

Wilson does not oppose platoons, but prefers a given composition and it is not difficult to see how Raleley gets the chance to show that he can be a daily player. He had an unhappy spring on the plate last year, which moved in the first few months of the season. The feeling better on the plate from the beginning can go a long way to hardening in Marinors in a combination of a first base and a particular striker.

The group’s Tweener will be the veteran Donovan Solano, which can play first, second and third base. While the 37-year-old defensive issue is not big, Infield Perry Hill coach had it for the first four years of Solano’s career with Miami Marlins and is excited to get the chance to work with him again. Although it is not yet clear how it fits into the mixture, the flexibility of the position and the comfortable and the ability to hit as a player who is not every day should be beneficial for the team (assuming that he is not forced into a daily basis role).

In the “Watch with a Cautive Eye” category, the rest of the field. Injuries in 2024 limited the short JP Crawford to its least of its plaque appearances throughout the season of 2019 and its slope of .202/.304/.321 (.625 OPS) was its most after testing In the big leagues. However, it is divided by only one year by its best offensive season, where it produces .818 Ops and 133 Ops+. The Marinians desperately need a retreat from their short stop.

Dylan Moore will be in the second base after winning the gold glove of the American League in the useful position, perhaps in the main, not in a platoon, with Ryan Blis and Luis Rivas, available on the right.

Then there is Jorge Polanko, who will have six weeks to learn a new position. Do they bet too much of a third base or can work with a hill and give them good positioning? So far, this is a huge question.

3. Julio Rodriguez

Stop me if you’ve heard this before: the insult goes when Julio goes. Although he is not responsible for the presentation of the other eight attackers in the order, he is obviously the so necessary Impact player in the lineup. And if he doesn’t go, it’s terribly difficult for sailors to go.

In 2024, his delay rate was 100 points full, and Bwar with almost two points lower than in ’22, when he won the Al Rookie of the Year Award, and Mariners ended with playoff land. Since then, he has been showing great outbursts of a later season of what can be offensive. The talent is there, there is no doubt about it. With three years at the level of the Basic League, he has seen and experienced enough to have the first and very young who are behind him.

The challenge of Julio was adjustments, both with the right correction and to make them in a timely manner. Edgar Martinez appeared to help this, and certainly won Julio’s confidence with the work they did together after the hall of fame was introduced as the intermediate trainer for hit at the end of last season. Will this carry and become such a necessary better start?

Far from work, Julio is a year older, a year more mature, a year of experience in the game and life. As a young superstar, he had a lot to balance and I am curious to see what this balance looks like for him, entering the 4th year in the big leagues.

4. Health of a pitcher

You can never have enough uploading and believe or not, sailors are a little thin in this regard, targeting the season. What, you can ask? They kept everyone. Yes. But beyond the rotation of five, there is no new George Kirbis, Brace Millers or Brian Wos on a nearby horizon.

And please take a minute to appreciate that you can never see a three -year start to the initial debut of rotary talents like Logan Gilbert, Kirby, Miller and Wu. They really do not grow on trees, but here are the sailors and here they remain – along with the rotation of Louis Castillo – intact.

Kurkjian expects Mariners Ace to become the best owner of MLB

Marinrs President for baseball operations Jerry Dipo and General Manager Justin Hollander were simply not inclined to trade any of the starting five in this extra season, unless they were able to get something better. What this equation would look like is not known to the public, but obviously the value of starting a slope in Seattle Marinors is out of the charts.

If they had chosen to move a starter, there would have been a substitute that probably wouldn’t have repeated the player’s contribution, which he replaced, but was good enough with the value of the offensive player covering the mound’s deficit, and then some. That’s all good and good until another starter is wounded. Equivalent or even almost equivalent replacement is not available.

With the intact rotation, sailors hope to avoid this situation. However, the loss of only one starter for a long period of time can be difficult. They are built to lean on appetizers and need healthy appetizers.

Health will also focus with Bulpen, and according to the reports, healthy Gregory Santos, ready to go, and Mat Brach, who checks the rehabilitation performance at a rapid pace. I am curious to see what Andres Munos and Gabe Spier look like.

5. Surprises

I am for a spring workout a surprise of good variety. While it is easy to discard a list of 26 people a day, there may be a place or two that are not yet fully ink.

It is probably too early for the prospectus of Infield Cole Young, as sailors probably won’t want to educate him while he can play every day, but he showed extremely well for the first few weeks last spring. It’s long, but can it kick the door down?

How about Tyler Loclera? There is no room for him right now, but he can do a business. His gaze of only 45 bats with Mariners was too short last year to make much of determining what was on the big league level. What did he do with the knowledge he received during this time?

Then it’s Ben Williamson. People both in and outside the organization praised the defense of the project of the second round of 2023, and the feeling that you could put it on a third basis with the sailors every day if the insult was not a factor. He will probably start the season at Triple, but he is worth a good look this spring, as we will probably see him in Seattle in Seattle.

If there is no 3B protection, Seattle Marinrs have an intriguing backup option

On the part of a picing, can sailors help the now healthy shintaro Fujinami, who has been struck by command problems, use a five -step repertoire that includes a 99 mile / hmmers? It is probably too early, but there is an excitement in the organization of what Prospect Brandyn Garcia, which qualifies as a starter in 2024, could do as a left -wing, the name Hunter Cranton is also mentioned as one to hold to hold Eye of.
