The Seattle Mariners emerged as a formidable force in 2024, largely due to their exceptional starting pitching rotation. Leading Major League Baseball in quality starts, the team boasted an impressive lineup where all five starters recorded ERAs below 3.70, with four pitchers making at least 30 starts. Notably, Logan Gilbert captured attention as the ace of the staff, achieving a career milestone with 200 strikeouts and 200 innings pitched while leading the league in WHIP (0.89). Fellow pitcher Bryce Miller closely followed, ranking fourth in WHIP with an impressive 0.98.

Both Gilbert and Miller excelled in limiting batting averages, with Gilbert allowing just .196 and Miller .200. They were outpaced only by Ronel Blanco and Zack Wheeler. With diverse pitching arsenals, the duo is expected to play pivotal roles in the upcoming season, contributing significantly to the Mariners’ ambitions. Their collective prowess underlines a promising future for the franchise, as they aim to build on their 2024 success.
