The Seattle Mariners faced significant offensive struggles in the previous season, leading to their 22nd playoff miss in 23 years. With the highest strikeout rate in the majors and injuries to key players like Julio Rodriguez and JP Crawford, the team struggled to maintain consistent performance.
However, the hiring of hitting coach Edgar Martinez and manager Dan Wilson showed promise late in the season. FanGraphs' 2025 ZiPS projections suggest a solid offensive lineup, particularly highlighting Rodriguez and catcher Cal Raleigh as key players. The Mariners could see a potential win range of 85-90 games if they improve their infield and manage injuries effectively.
