Cal Raleigh with the fourth highest selling jersey in MLB; Josh Naylor in top 20
MLB sent around a press release today of the top-selling MLB jerseys (based on sales through Fanatics, starting from the end of the World Series to now). The ranks are:
1. Ohtani 2. Yamamoto 3. Judge 4. Raleigh
Josh Naylor clocks in at #19 on the list, right behind Paul Skenes but ahead of Christian Yelich - definitely a testament to the Seattle faithful who boosted Naylor's jersey sales after his extension was announced this fall.
"WE DANCE, Victory Formation!" see a lot of this, this year.

Mariners fall victim to Adell's trio of home run robberies
Emerson Hancock posts second straight strong start
Dan Wilson discusses the Mariners' 1-0 loss
Mariners manager Dan Wilson discusses Emerson Hancock's start, stifled offense and more following his team's 1-0 loss to the Angels
by Daniel Kramer
ANAHEIM -- The first had a sense of “oof.” The second had a dose of diabolical. And the third might go down as the catch of the year.
The Mariners were on the wrong side of a game that virtually everyone at Angel Stadium and across the sport on Saturday said they’d never seen before -- three home run robberies, all by the same outfielder.
And making Halos right fielder Jo Adell’s heroics even more spectacular was that each was essentially a game-saving play in the 1-0 decision.
Had at least two cleared the fence, we might be having a much different conversation -- and especially across the airwaves in Seattle, given who fell victim to Adell’s insane night.
Cal Raleigh’s long fly ball found Adell’s leather in the first inning, taking away what would have been his first homer since his historic 60 last season. Josh Naylor sent one to the fence in the eighth that was a near-carbon copy of Raleigh’s drive, and erased
what would’ve been his first extra-base hit in 2026.
But J.P. Crawford’s in the ninth might’ve been the most gut-punching, given how Adell completely left his feet, crashed into the stands and somehow corralled it after falling out of view.

Cal Raleigh in the first inning, Josh Naylor in the eighth, and J.P. Crawford in the ninth each hit home runs that Adell, arguably the worst defensive outfielder in baseball, brought back from over the fence. The Mariners offense wasn’t great, striking out 10
times with a lot of weak contact. But those plays, in addition to two other nice plays from Josh Lowe and Oswald Peraza, kept them from scoring, or even really threatening.
The last one was close enough that the Mariners challenged, but to no avail.
And per Statcast -- independent of an amazing defensive effort -- all three would’ve been homers at T-Mobile Park.
"You just tip the cap,” Raleigh said. “I don't think I've ever seen a guy rob two homers in a game, much less three. So it's just one of those things where baseball can amaze you night in and night out. You can see something you’ve never seen before. The
game, it's amazing. I've never seen that."
Raleigh, Naylor and Crawford are each off to a slow start in 2026, and a homer could’ve turned their fortunes for at least one night.
On the heels of his historic season, Raleigh has now gone nine games without a homer since Opening Day, eclipsing the longest drought he had all of last season (eight games from May 3-11).
Naylor did drive in two insurance runs in the 10th inning of Friday’s tense win, but they were his first of the year. Overall, he’s 4-for-35, and with each of his hits being singles, his batting average matches his slugging percentage (.114).
Crawford was playing in just his second game after missing the Opening Week homestand on the injured list with right shoulder inflammation. He also feels like he has much to prove -- to the organization (which just signed his heir apparent to a $95
million contract extension) and the rest of the league (given that he’ll be a free agent at season’s end).
“Three great catches, no question,” Mariners manager Dan Wilson said. “And it's frustrating when you feel like you put a good swing on a ball like that and drive it, like our guys did, and you don't end up with anything to show for it. But I think that the
positive there is that guys are starting to swing the bat and it's starting to come around."
Wilson isn’t wrong, although it might not be what most want to hear on a night in which the Mariners stranded nine baserunners and went 0-for-7 with runners in scoring position.
Those shortcomings masked another brilliant pitching effort, this one from Emerson Hancock, whose lone blemish was a solo homer to Zach Neto in the first. He then went on to finish 6 2/3 innings with only five other hits. Neto’s homer is the lone earned
run that the Mariners have surrendered this weekend.

"Obviously, yeah, you look at the three balls that [Adell] caught,” Raleigh said. “But at the same time, we've got to do a better job of the little things -- of getting guys over, executing with runners in scoring position."
This offense has enough of a supporting cast that it doesn’t have to run through Raleigh. Yet, his struggles have been more magnified given that the rest of Seattle’s primary run producers are also trying to get going. We haven’t mentioned Julio
Rodríguez, who wasn’t robbed by Adell on Saturday but who’s also seeking his first extra-base hit.
It’s getting there, albeit marginally, but Adell had other plans on Saturday.
“In general, I felt a lot better tonight,” Raleigh said. “I thought I took some good swings, took some good at-bats. I've just got to stay a little more disciplined in those 3-2 counts. But overall, I thought, the guys took some great swings tonight."

Woo, bullpen dazzle before Young provides spark in 10-inning win

Apr 3, 2026; Anaheim, California, USA; ANAHEIM -- It took nearly three hours for the Mariners to come to life on Friday night at Angel Stadium. But when they did, they completed a 3-1 win with two of their wildest highlights of this young season.
Andrés Muñoz won a tense showdown with Mike Trout for a three-pitch strikeout to end in the bottom of the ninth inning and send the game to extras, where in the very first at-bat, Cole Young drilled a go-ahead triple that broke a scoreless tie.
Those efforts backed a gem from Bryan Woo, who twirled seven shutout innings and surrendered just one hit -- a bloop single that right fielder Victor Robles nearly made a diving catch on -- and one walk, with six strikeouts.
“Just analyzing the situation of the game, and just trying to do a job,” Young said. “Because usually in that situation --- I mean, obviously, every time in that situation you want to get the runner over. So that was my whole approach in that at-bat, is to
just hit the ball to the right side and get the runner over and just do a job and let the top of the order do the rest.”
The ‘82 M’s would look foreign in today’s game in many ways. The club’s 7.3% K-BB% was fourth-best in the league then and would’ve been worst in the sport every year since 2011 now. But they’d have watched with knowing familiarity this predicament,
albeit also narrow pride as Muñoz shredded the 9-1-2 of the Angels’ order, spaghettifying Trout on a pair of sliders and then a 100-mph heater at the zone’s apex.
It feels wrong not to give Woo a clip this evening, but I hope if you did not see it, you can grant yourself a moment of zen.
When Muñoz took the mound against Trout, the Mariners faced a very real possibility that they could lose a game in which they surrendered just two hits -- had Trout done the worst and taken Muñoz deep for a would-be walk-off homer. But instead,
Muñoz generated two called strikes on breaking balls, the second of which was in Trout’s wheelhouse, before dialing up a 100.1 mph fastball up and in for a swinging K.
“I was thinking fastball the whole time, just making sure that it was up,” Muñoz said. “That's it. Sometimes when you try to do too much, when you try to put extra effort on it, it says middle-middle. And that is not what I wanted. So just try to attack, be
aggressive -- but smart at the same time.”
That sent Young to the plate to lead off the 10th, and the 22-year-old ambushed reliever Brent Suter for a left-on-left knock that nearly left the yard. Instead, it caromed off the right-field fence and sent automatic runner Luke Raley off to the races.
Amid gusty conditions, Raley held at second base off the bat -- unsure if the ball would find the seats or right fielder Jo Adell’s glove. But there was enough juice on it that Young was thinking three-bagger once it landed, because any throw would’ve been
for Raley at the plate.
J.P. Crawford returns from the injured list
Young is now 5-for-12 vs. lefties and 9-for-29 overall, with five of his hits for extra bases.
“The game doesn't speed up on him,” Mariners manager Dan Wilson said. “And he's able to keep that consistent pace to his game, and that plays extremely important in those kinds of situations.”
After Young’s breakthrough, Julio Rodríguez drew an intentional walk, advanced to second on a wild pitch and scored -- with Young -- on an RBI single from Josh Naylor, giving Gabe Speier enough breathing room to reach the finish line.
Between Woo, Matt Brash, Muñoz and Speier, the Mariners retired each of their final 22 batters -- and collectively had three baserunners, one being the automatic runner in the 10th, which scored on a sacrifice fly.
And the headliner was Woo, who was extremely self-critical after his regular-season debut, when he was tagged for two decisive runs in the sixth inning of last Saturday’s 6-5 loss to the Guardians.

That frustrating finish was on his mind as he steered from the strike zone with a four-pitch walk to Trout to begin the fourth inning on Friday and over a 19-pitch fifth. That followed a hit-by-pitch to the three-time AL MVP in the first, which prompted a
brief staredown from Trout.
But Woo got his pitch count back on track from there, needing five in the sixth and seven in the seventh -- thanks to a few words-of-wisdom mound visits from Cal Raleigh.
“That's what I keep talking about -- raising the floor,” Woo said. “Just the days that you don't feel like you have it or have your best stuff, still figuring out how to get through it and make the most out of those days.”
One thing the Mariners will be monitoring the rest of the weekend is the status of third baseman Brendan Donovan, who exited after landing awkwardly on first base when attempting to leg out an infield single. Wilson didn’t have a detailed postgame
update, other than that Donovan is dealing with discomfort in his leg.

As a wise giant once said: “it is happening again.” For the sixth time in seven seasons the Mariners carry a 3-4 record after their first seven games. This simply isn’t a roster that gets off to a hot start. And for reasons ranging from the sensible to the silly,
that’s basically fine.
For one: it’s cold in Seattle! I probably don’t need to tell you this dear reader but the temperature at first pitch was 47 degrees! Fine for football weather but downright miserable for baseball. It’s so cold that Luke Raley’s bat is deciding that it does not
want to be a baseball bat anymore in the cover image.
George Kirby's Six Strikeouts
George Kirby records six strikeouts across six innings of work in his start against the Yankees
That cold tends to favor pitchers, so it is perhaps no surprise that today’s contest was a pitcher’s duel for the first five innings. Mariners starter George Kirby allowed a first inning run off a walk, stolen base, and ground ball double up the first base line, but
was absolutely dominant for much of the rest of his outing. He rolled through the second, third, fourth, and fifth innings while only allowing two baserunners.
Unfortunately, so did Yankees starter Cam Schlitter whose fastball was absolutely unhittable. Watching the game, it seemed like Raley wasn’t the only player missing a barrel on his bat. Everyone, from superstar Cal Raleigh to little Leo Rivas was swinging
through the heater.

Dominic Canzone's RBI single
Kirby’s dominance game to an end in the sixth inning, which he started with an uncharacteristic leadoff walk. After getting that fraud Aaron Judge — who probably doesn’t even own a robe — to pop out, he struck out Cody Bellinger and seemed poised to
hang another zero on the scoreboard. But he couldn’t get his changeup up in the zone against Ben Rice and issued another free pass. And then he grooved a middle-middle heater to Paul Goldschmidt. Oh no.
In an instant, a very winnable 1-run ballgame became an almost-out-of-reach 4-run ballgame. Drat. The Mariners were a grand slam behind the Yanks. Surely there is no coming back from that.

The Mariners brought in Jose Ferrer and Cooper Criswell to relieve George, and they got through the 7th and 8th innings without allowing a run. In the bottom of the eighth, Dominic Canzone and Cole Young hit back to back 1-out singles to put runners on
the corners. Leo Rivas struck out reaching for an awful pitch that bounced on home plate for the second out in the inning. Brendan Donovan then took the easiest 4-pitch walk of his life to load the bases. That brought up the number two hitter. Who was
that again? Oh right.
Cal Raleigh stood in the batter’s box with three men on and two outs in the inning. The moment was perfect for the 2025 home run champ to get his first of 2026. The city of Seattle held its breath. On a 2-1 count, Yankees reliever Dave Bednar tried to
bury a splitter below the zone. But he missed up, a dangerous thing to do against a hitter who loves to send low and away breaking pitches to the moon. Cal swung and made contact with his signature one-handed follow through.
Cal Raleigh's Two-Run Single

And hit a 2-run single. Not a grand slam, but runs are runs and the M’s were finally on the board. Things were looking up. Right up until Julio struck out on a splitter right down the middle. Oh you thought the M’s had a chance? April Fools!
To add insult to injury the Yanks got a run back in the ninth off of a leadoff home run by Ben Rice. That left the M’s with a 3 run deficit heading into the bottom of the ninth inning. Much work to be done. And some of it was! With two outs, Dominic
Canzone scored Randy Arozarena from second and advanced to scoring position himself on defensive indifference. That brought up Cole Young to decide the game. Cole fought and scratched and clawed for his life and ground out a nerve-racking 10-pitch
at bat. Finally, he got a fastball down the middle and sent it on a good ride towards right field… it flew high up into the roof-covered sky… and settled into Aaron Judge’s glove just in front of the warning track. April Fools!
To play the maybe game for a moment, maybe in August, when its a little warmer and Cole’s a little stronger, that ball gets over the wall. Maybe Cal hits a slam instead of a single. Maybe a lot of things. But here’s a fact. The season is still so, so, so young.
There are still 155 games remaining. Last year the Mariners got off to an equally mediocre start and the won the division, in case you forgot. So here’s my fact: you’d be a fool to count them out now.

Mariners get Fried by Max and the Yankees, lose 5-0
Max Fried throttles Mariners over seven innings, Logan Gilbert gives up five runs in loss

This was the matchup in the series the Mariners had the lowest percentage of winning (even while still being favored, apparently no one told the oddsmakers at FanGraphs the Mariners are suffering a bit of a limp offensively), but it was still pretty rough to
watch. Max Fried outdueled Logan Gilbert, holding the Mariners scoreless over seven innings, while Gilbert was fine—collecting 14 whiffs—but not particularly sharp: he missed a bunch of stuff armside, the splitter didn’t have its usual bite, he hung some
sliders, and he over-relied on his cutter, throwing it about 15% of the time.

But the biggest problem for Gilbert, again, was inefficiency; it took him nearly 30 pitches to clear the first inning, and his pitch count would have been even more inflated if not for a few well-timed double plays. He got ahead of leadoff hitter Trent
Grisham, only to need seen pitches before putting him away on a flyout on a four-seamer. Two hitters later, he again got ahead of Cody Bellinger 0-2 with two outs, but instead of putting Bellinger away, Gilbert tried a pair of splitters and a fastball, none of
which he could land, missing armside each time and running the count full before throwing Bellinger a cutter on the plate which Bellinger bopped into right field for a single. Gilbert then fell behind Ben Rice 2-0, resulting in a pretty terrible hung slider that
luckily was only a double down the right field line, fielded…not particularly well by Victor Robles, allowing Bellinger to score. Giancarlo Stanton then ambushed the first pitch he saw for a parachute single that dropped in front of Robles, scoring Rice, who
was in motion with two outs and giving the Yankees a 2-0 lead.
Unfortunately, that would be all the Yankees needed, even if they went on to add more later, as the Mariners bats were quiet once again. Max Fried carved through the Mariners lineup, no-hitting them the first time through the order with four strikeouts, a
lone walk to Julio Rodríguez the only thing between him and a perfect game until Josh Naylor collected his first hit of the season, a line-drive single into center.
Gilbert’s pitch mix tonight was…curious. He led with the fastball and splitter, getting three of his six strikeouts on the splitter, but threw his cutter the third-most of any of his pitches (15%), a pitch he said during spring training Scott Servais once told him
was best at about an 8% usage. He got one strikeout on the pitch, getting Ryan McMahon chasing after one up to end the second.
“Cutter feels great. I really like where it’s at,” said Gilbert postgame.
He also dug out his changeup, a pitch he hasn’t thrown significantly since 2022. He got one strikeout on the pitch, a called strike the Yankees challenged and lost. Gilbert threw his changeup intermittently this spring, toying with working it back into his
arsenal; apparently, this time both the cutter and the changeup survived the trip north.
“The good [changeups] were good. Bad ones were bad. It’s just kind of the nature of it,” said Gilbert postgame.
Gilbert did get some help defensively in the third, despite some shaky defensive play in the first: Leo Rivas turned a slick double play after a leadoff base hit to Grisham, making a quick turn to get Judge at first, and Cal Raleigh wiped away a two-out walk
(no Logan! Bad Logan!) with an absolute seed to pick off Bellinger trying to steal:
There’s still so much to unpack from this unprecedented deal -- the richest ever for a player yet to reach the Majors -- and Dipoto shed some light on a few of those unanswered questions prior to the Mariners' 5-0 loss to the Yankees on Tuesday.
Thanks to some defensive help and some make-it-work pitching, Gilbert was able to keep the Yankees quiet until the sixth, when Trent Grisham realized the cutter isn’t actually a good pitch and ambushed the first pitch he saw for a ground-rule double.
Gilbert was able to strike out Judge on a splitter, but Bellinger tattooed a fastball at the top of the zone for a single; Grisham didn’t score then, but did score when Bellinger, who seemed committed to being a pest on the bases that night, stole second and
Cal overthrew the base. Things unraveled after that for Gilbert, as he walked Rice, putting runners at the corners with one out for Stanton, who shot a double into the gap on a splitter that did not split to make it 4-0.
Cole Wilcox was charged with cleaning up the damage but couldn’t get Jazz Chisholm Jr. despite having him in a 1-2 count, leaving a slider too much on the plate for an RBI single; Chisholm then stole second, wiping out the double play opportunity. Wilcox
did button things down after that, but the damage was done.
The only good part of this game is Wilcox got a second inning to try to make his case to stick around once Carlos Vargas is healthy, and he pitched a dominant seventh, striking out McMahon looking on a sweeper and striking out Grisham swinging after a
slider, and then got by Aaron Judge with a little help from his friend, who conveniently is also named Cole:

This hot potato came off the bat at 107 directly at Cole W’s dome and, no. No, thank you. I would simply climb under the mound and pull it around myself like a weighted blanket and refuse to leave. But Cole Y was right there to help his buddy out.
Hooray for teamwork.
Wilcox came back for the eighth and got his first out but then surrendered a single to Rice, who kind of stuck his bat out at a sweeper and sliced it oppo, so Casey Legumina got a chance to argue why he should get the final bullpen rose and retired his two
hitters, and then worked a clean ninth inning. Ever since Casey told the story about his Opening Day suit I have been unfortunately very attached to him so this was a particularly nice little reward at the end of a tough game.
Fried finally came out of the game in the eighth, but by that point, the damage was done, and the Mariners hitters didn’t do anything against the low-leverage Yankees relievers who came in to replace him (although Cole Young did have a single, because
again, even though this game was un-fun, the disappointment was offset by lots of little Kate Treats). The Mariners will try to win their first series tomorrow, with George Kirby on the mound against Cam Schlittler, whose name I have looked up three
times and am still not sure I spelled correctly.

Caught in slow start, Cal comes up clutch off the bench with walk-off
Cal Raleigh walks it off for the Mariners
Cal Raleigh lines a single down the right field line, scoring Leo Rivas and winning it for the Mariners
SEATTLE -- It was never going to be a full off-day for Cal Raleigh.
Mired in a mini-slump to begin the regular season, the Mariners’ all-world catcher was out of Seattle’s starting lineup on Monday night against the Yankees -- but wound up being the hero in a 2-1 walk-off win.
Raleigh ripped a one-out single down the line off Paul Blackburn and past the outstretched glove of diving first baseman Ben Rice, which allowed Leo Rivas to score easily. Rivas led off with a single then went first-to-third on a single from Brendan
Donovan.
It’s still preposterously early to say that this could be an inflection point to springboard Raleigh in 2026.
But given the topsy-turvy month that the AL MVP runner-up has gone through -- from not playing much in the World Baseball Classic, then falling behind in Spring Training reps before Opening Day -- it could steer him in a better direction.
“It'll be OK,” Raleigh said. “I know a lot of guys in that locker room, a lot of people across the league, are fighting the same thing. Guys are trying to find timing. And it's under a microscope more so now than it is in the middle of the season.”
Raleigh’s late breakthrough came after a 2-for-16 start to the season that included 11 strikeouts -- the most recent of which came when he pinch-hit in the designated hitter spot for Dominic Canzone in the seventh inning.
To start the season, Raleigh K’d in each of his first eight at-bats, tying the most for any non-pitcher in the expansion era (since 1961), and his 10 through the first four games were the most ever for a Mariners hitter.
Whether it was timing or routine, Raleigh was still finding his groove upon returning from the Classic after 18 days on March 19.
He only appeared in three games for Team USA, going 0-for-9 with six strikeouts, and there also wasn’t an avenue for him to go through his robust routine regularly, as the WBC venues featured multiple teams under the same roof on the same days. In
other words, he couldn’t just go into the batting cage whenever he wanted.
And when he was in Arizona, Raleigh was scrambling to get as many at-bats as possible -- with extra reps in live batting practice before Cactus League play began and as many as eight at-bats per game on the back fields upon returning.
“I don't feel terrible in the box,” Raleigh said. “I feel like I've had some tough pitches, but at the same time, I just need to execute a little better.”
Yet, these were actually less pressing factors in why Mariners manager Dan Wilson opted to give Raleigh the day off behind the plate.
It was as much about load management.
The Mariners were actually more deliberate about Raleigh’s workload last year than it might’ve seemed, given that he logged 1,072 innings behind the plate (third-most in MLB). They anticipated a taper-off at some point and were prepared to act
accordingly.

But that never happened. In fact, beyond his 60 homers, Raleigh played some of his best baseball in the playoffs.
Last year, Raleigh was slated for his first full off-day on May 6 in Sacramento but came off the bench and ripped a game-winning single. He didn’t end up getting that full off-day until June 8 in Anaheim.
When Raleigh entered Monday’s game, he did so as Seattle’s third DH of the night -- after Rob Refsnyder, who started against rough lefty Ryan Weathers, and Canzone, who makes up the other half of that full-time platoon.
And therein lies why Raleigh won’t see as much action at DH this year, after making 38 starts there in ‘25 as a way to keep his bat in the lineup during a historic season. He made another 121 starts at catcher, and played in all but three of the Mariners’
174 games last season (including playoffs).

“The depth in our lineup, that certainly does help,” Wilson said, “and being able to not have to rely on him all the time for the DH spot too is great. And so I think this is an opportunity where it made a lot of sense today.”
For these factors and more, Raleigh lobbied the Mariners’ front office to bring back Mitch Garver as his backup -- a veteran he trusts immensely to hold things down when he’s not behind the dish.
Because it sounds like when Raleigh is off in ‘26, he’ll be more off than in ‘25. Except for moments like Monday, when he’s needed in a pinch.

The former Georgia Bulldog held the contact-heavy Guardians hitless over six innings while racking up a career-high nine strikeouts.
Yes, hitless -- and among 19 batters faced.
The only baserunners to reach against Hancock were Jose Ramirez, via a first-inning walk, and No. 8 hitter CJ Kayfus, who was hit by a pitch to lead off the sixth. And the latter came at a time where Wilson entrusted Hancock to work through an extra
inning in an effort to steal a few final outs and stave off his bullpen usage.
The Mariners were already up 6-0 and well on their way to victory. But navigating that final frame on a night where Andrés Muñoz and Eduard Bazardo were unavailable, and probably Gabe Speier too, sets them up nicely moving to another big series
looming Monday against the Yankees.

The breathing room was made possible by a big breakout from the offense -- headlined by a three-run homer from Brendan Donovan, and on a night where the Mariners saw two fly balls (from Randy Arozarena and Josh Naylor) die at the warning track
thanks to the pesky marine layer.

But this night was mostly about Hancock, who easily turned in the best start among the Mariners’ rotation the first time through -- outshining the likes of Logan Gilbert, George Kirby and Bryan Woo, while Luis Castillo takes the mound on Monday.
The sweeper that Hancock harnessed in Spring Training generated one silly swing after another, while the four-seam fastball was dotted at the top of the zone with conviction, even with a slight dip in velocity.
We’ve seen Hancock turn in a gem here and there, for sure. But it was the mound presence that persevered in a way that truly hadn’t until this night. It was the look of a pitcher on the attack, and one who believes he belongs on this stage.
Hancock is in the Mariners’ Opening Day rotation for the third straight season due to an injury to an incumbent. This year, he’s holding things down while Bryce Miller recovers from left oblique inflammation, an issue that first surfaced during the right-
hander’s Cactus League debut.
Mariners to debut new Steelheads jerseys for Sunday Night Baseball
Historic Steelheads jerseys pay homage to Mariners
“That’s one of the coolest uniforms I’ve ever worn,” Naylor said. “It’s so cool. Having the privilege of wearing it, it’s awesome.”
Tonight’s Mariners game won’t be just their Sunday Night Baseball debut; the team will also debut their new Steelheads uniforms, created to honor the short-lived Negro Leagues team located in Seattle. The Mariners are the first MLB team to feature a
historic Negro Leagues uniform as part of the club’s standard uniform rotation. The black and cream Steelheads jerseys will be worn on home Sunday games, replacing the royal blue, yellow and cream Sunday alternates that the team has worn for the
past decade.
The Steelheads were part of the West Coast Negro Baseball Association, founded by Olympian Jesse Owens and Abe Saperstein (owner of the Harlem Globetrotters). Owens formed the Portland Rosebuds in Oregon, while Saperstein moved his
barnstorming team the Cincinnati Crescents to Seattle and renamed them the Steelheads. The Steelheads played for just part of one year, 1946, playing their home games at Seattle’s Sick’s Stadium, where the Tacoma Rainiers played from 1938-1976.

Very little information exists about the Steelheads today, and what we do know is largely due to the efforts of local historian David Eskenazi. Kevin Martinez, Mariners President of Business Operations, said the Steelheads uniforms were reconstructed using
one of the two available pictures of a player in a Steelheads uniform. (The second picture shows a catcher, making it impossible to make out uniform details.) The first time the Mariners wore the Steelheads jerseys, in a game against Kansas City in 1995
where the Royals wore the historic Monarchs jerseys, the jerseys were based on concepts rather than historical fact. Eskenazi devoted himself to finding photographs so the uniforms could be based in reality.
In lifting up the little-known Steelheads, the Mariners surprised even some of their own former players who are otherwise very well-versed in the more well-known Negro Leagues teams. Neither Mark McLemore nor Mike Cameron were with the team in
1995, so the Steelheads were new to them.
“I didn’t know anything about the Steelheads,” said Mark McLemore when the uniforms were unveiled at FanFest this winter. “Not before I actually put the jersey on to understand that that was a part of the dynamic of the Negro Leagues. So to be able to
understand the history around that is very gratifying, because I understand that history is one of the reasons why I got a chance to play the game of baseball.”
“To be able to have some of the people in Seattle able to see that this once was, this is connected to that part of history, it’s very meaningful.”
Mike Cameron also sees the connection between the present and the past, both locally and on a national level, and appreciates the Mariners for keeping that link alive and visible.
“I think it’s very important because it’s not just history, it’s American history,” said Cameron. “And not all organizations do it, see it as an important part of history, and the Mariners are one of the organizations that do. And that’s very appreciated, because
it could be easily lost in history. Not talked about, not cared about.
So for the Mariners to be able to recognize that, that’s great, and that’s part of what makes this such a first class organization.”
Current Mariner Josh Naylor was honored to be chosen to debut the jersey back at FanFest in January.
“That’s one of the coolest uniforms I’ve ever worn,” Naylor said. “It’s so cool. Having the privilege of wearing it, it’s awesome.”
In addition to wearing the jerseys on home Sundays, the Mariners announced a commitment of $500,000 to local Black-led baseball and softball organizations and community initiatives. Part of the revenue from all Steelheads merchandise sold, as well as
the revenue from the team’s 50/50 raffles on Steelheads Sunday, will go to the programs.
“Through the Steelheads Community Fund, we will celebrate the legacy of the Steelheads, while continuing our long-standing effort to advance access to baseball and softball and well-being for underserved communities in our region,” said Martinez.

Despite strong debut, Woo shoulders blame after Mariners fall late
SEATTLE, WASHINGTON - MARCH 28: Bryan Woo #22 of the Seattle Mariners (Photo by Olivia Vanni/Getty Images) Getty Images
Woo was hard on himself after the game, in a way that, if you don’t mind a bit of editorializing, wasn’t quite fair given how well he pitched most of the night.
”I think...just...undisciplined, is the best way I can put it,” he said of his mini-blowup in the sixth. “I have to be better about coming out, especially as you get later into games. You’ve got to up your focus even more, and that just can’t happen.
Bryan Woo's Nine Strikeouts in Season Debut
Bryan Woo records nine strikeouts across six strong innings of work in his season debut against the Guardians
by Daniel Kramer
SEATTLE -- Bryan Woo sat dejected and approaching disgust when dissecting what was, other than one shaky inning, a superb outing.
But such are the standards that the Mariners’ electric right-hander holds himself to. And after a 6-5 loss to the Guardians in the 10th inning on Saturday night -- well after he departed -- it was not the beginning to the season that Woo had wanted.
Ichiro Replica Statue Giveaway is April 10!
"I’ve got to do a better job of keeping teams down when they’re down,” Woo said.
Woo walked No. 9 batter Brayan Rocchio to lead off the sixth inning. After recording two outs, he was beaten by José Ramírez in a 3-1 count for an RBI double into the right-field corner. That led to a mound visit from pitching coach Pete Woodworth, after
which Woo gave up a game-tying single to Kyle Manzardo on his very next pitch.
SEATTLE, WA - SEPTEMBER 08: Bryan Woo #22 of the Seattle Mariners
The Mariners -- who had little going at the plate until reaching crunch time -- wouldn’t lead again.
Bullpen management at a surface level looked questionable in specific pockets, though manager Dan Wilson revealed postgame, without going into specifics, that he was operating with a limited staff. The irony was that Wilson eventually did reach his
highest-leverage reliever, Andrés Muñoz, and the two-time All-Star was on the hook for the loss when surrendering a two-run home run to red-hot rookie Chase DeLauter shortly upon entering in the 10th.
That wound up being the ballgame.
"There were a couple guys that obviously needed a little bit of rest,” Wilson said. “And so you have to, again, weigh all those odds, all those factors especially here early in the season and understanding that it's a long year.”
Luke Raley made it interesting with his third homer in as many days, a two-run blast that cut Cleveland’s lead to one. And Julio Rodríguez got off a mini schneid by tying the game at 3-3 in the ninth, when Seattle was down to its final strike and out. It was
his first hit of the season after beginning 0-for-10.
But those efforts, while valiant, proved to be too little too late.
DeLauter’s knock was a dramatic display for well beyond the fact that it was his fourth of the series, and that these are the first regular-season games for MLB Pipeline’s No. 45 overall prospect. It was also for the sheer power to connect on the 96.6 mph
fastball way up and out of the zone and punch it a projected 365 feet over the opposite-field fence.
"That’s an elite pitcher, an elite fastball,” Guardians left fielder Steven Kwan said. “To be able to do it, especially here with the wind blowing in, a really big fence out in left, it's as talented as you can be. To execute it too, to have the hand-eye and all that,
it's still so impressive."
Julio Rodríguez's Game-Tying Single
Essentially, Woo's outing might’ve been a culprit in the defeat -- but if so, his was a small role.
Until Rodríguez broke through, set up by a leadoff double from Cole Young, the Mariners had just two runs and were playing at least one arm short in their bullpen.
After Woo departed, Eduard Bazardo generated two quick outs to begin the sixth, but he then walked the Nos. 8-9 hitters and surrendered a go-ahead single to Kwan. That knock came while Gabe Speier was hot, and Speier did enter immediately after.
But again, it seemed like another sequence of too little too late.
"'Zardo is a guy that we really trust,” Wilson said, “and Kwan was just able to flip that ball to left field and get the big hit. You're hoping you can get him through there, and then Gabe has got the next inning. But it just was one of those tough ones
tonight.”

Speier has held Kwan 0-for-3 with two strikeouts in their brief career matchups, but it was also evident that Wilson preferred to hold him for a clean seventh. Maybe it’s because Jose A. Ferrer was unavailable, because the new leverage lefty seemed
primed to pitch in this one given the seven lefties in Cleveland’s starting lineup.
The Mariners also prefer to stay clear of Matt Brash on consecutive days, at least early, and he pitched Saturday. And now Muñoz will be down for the series finale, having pitched in back-to-back games. The club is also without Carlos Vargas, who suffered
a right lat strain on Thursday and was placed on the 15-day injured list.
Navigating bullpen usage is like steering a season-long ship. But ideally, the Mariners wouldn’t have had to face as many such challenges before their first weekend was through.

Cole Young's Three-Run Homer
Cole Young hits his first home run of the season with a three-run knock to right-center field, giving the Mariners a 3-1 lead in the bottom of the 4th inning
SEATTLE -- The Mariners have long believed that Cole Young is their second baseman of the future, and that future is rapidly becoming the present.
The rising 22-year-old demolished the first of what could be many home runs in 2026 on Friday night, sparking Seattle towards the first victory of its most anticipated season in recent memory -- maybe of all-time.
Along with four nifty plays in the field as part of a 5-1 win over the Guardians, Young was the night’s headliner. But a laser into the right-field bleachers from Luke Raley for the second straight night and six overwhelming innings from George Kirby were
just as vital in allowing the Mariners to cruise to the type of victory that this roster was built for.

But what the Mariners have wanted to see after an 85-game rookie sample was better harnessing the strike zone and closing a few holes to his swing that he became susceptible to. That was as evident as ever on Friday, when he was on time to demolish
a 96.8 mph fastball in an 0-2 count from Guardians ace Gavin Williams.
That one came with two outs in the fourth inning, at a time where the Mariners didn’t have much going -- just one hit and five walks, with nothing to show for [it] in the run column.

by Kate Preusser
SEATTLE, WASHINGTON - MARCH 26: Brendan Donovan #33 of the Seattle Mariners celebrates his solo home run during the first inning against the Cleveland Guardians at T-Mobile Park on March 26, 2026 in Seattle, Washington.
For an offense that was supposed to add more contact and on-base ability this off-season, it was a disappointing showing from the Mariners on Opening Day in front of a sold-out (as announced by the Mariners) crowd. The Mariners hitters combined for 14
strikeouts, scoring all their runs on solo homers. They only had two non-dinger hits: two doubles, one from Brendan Donovan and one by Randy Arozarena (that probably should have been scored as a single stretched to a double with some shaky play
from the Guardians outfield).
Initially, it looked like the Mariners were going to be able to outmaneuver the Guardians, despite Logan Gilbert surrendering a first-inning home run to rookie Chase DeLauter, who pounced on a slider from Gilbert and took him deep to put the Mariners in
an early hole.
“I was probably leaning too much on not walking [DeLauter] there,” said Gilbert postgame. “I just didn’t rip it like I usually do, a true slider.”
But Brendan Donovan was right there to pick up his teammate, making some history in his first plate appearance as a Mariner. This is the first leadoff home run on Opening Day in Mariners history:
“That’s a lot of prayers answered right there,” said Donovan postgame, who admitted he was trying to lean the ball fair when it came off his bat.
Marine layer? More like Mariner layer, as in the second Dominic Canzone proved he didn’t leave his power behind in Arizona, either, blasting this go-ahead run at 108 mph.

But that was the last time the Mariners were in the lead in this game. Guardians starter Tanner Bibee was able to keep the Mariners quiet, striking out seven over his five innings of work before being forced out in the sixth without throwing a pitch with
what was later announced as right shoulder inflammation.
Logan Gilbert, while not the most efficient with his pitches, was able to match Bibee until the top of the fifth. He suffered a bad-luck weakly-hit leadoff single off the bat of Rhys Hoskins, but then gave up a double to Daniel Schneeman on a slider that
didn’t slide enough to put runners on second and third with no outs. Brayan Rocchio then punished a terrible cutter that wound up dead red into the right field corner for a two-RBI double that put the Guardians ahead 3-2.
Gilbert relied on his cutter as the most often used of his secondary pitches, second only behind his four-seamer, while burying his slider in his arsenal. The fastball, which started out 95-96, was down to 94
But again, Luke Raley picked up his teammate, assuring Logan could be handed no worse than a no-decision with a game-tying solo shot in the bottom of the fifth. Raley continues to look like his 2024 self instead of the injury-ravaged 2025 version and
it’s great to see

Both teams turned to their bullpens in the sixth. Tanner Bibee came out to pitch the sixth, but left shortly after throwing his warmup pitches with what was announced as right shoulder inflammation
The Guardians took the lead back in the seventh against Gabe Speier, again utilizing their brand of high-contact baseball to create traffic on the bases. Brayan Rocchio nubbed a single off a slider at the bottom of the zone, and Chase DeLauter ambushed a
first-pitch sinker that caught too much plate for a single of his own. José Ramírez then doubled on a slider that was located approximately at his shoetops, sending it deep into the gap and scoring both runners, then to add insult to injury stole third base
before Speier was able to
Again, it was Canzone pulling the Mariners back into it, seizing the MLB home run lead (for today, at least) with his second homer of the game, rudely greeting former Mariner Shawn Armstrong in the seventh with this titanic blast:
“Heaters down the middle,” smirked Canzone when asked what he was looking for on these homers. “And they were just kind of in the honey hole, down and in.” (Hello Honey Hole sandwiches, have I got a pitch for you.)
Casey Legumina also had to deal with some traffic against the pesky Guardians, walking Rhys Hoskins on a pitch that Cal should have challenged for a strikeout looking and giving up an ambush first-pitch single to Gabriel Arias. Brayan Rocchio then
apparently his pant leg got nicked by a sweeper, loading the bases, but Legumina wiggled out of trouble with a beautiful pitch sequence to the uber-pest Steven Kwan, getting the contact-oriented Kwan reaching after sinkers up and away before burying a
changeup for Kwan to swing over. In a game that maybe didn’t have a ton to get excited about aside from Canzone’s big day at the plate, let us pause a moment for Casey Legumina striking out Steven Kwan.
It was Legumina’s first-ever Opening Day start and he arrived at the park in a sharply tailored cobalt blue suit. When I complimented him on it, he smiled and said, “Thanks. It’s my Opening Day suit. I’ve been waiting three years to wear it.”
Cooper Criswell got dinged up by a solo home run in his outing, again the victim of the rookie DeLauter, who demolished one of Criswell’s cutters to lead off the ninth, but rebounded to strike out José Ramírez on a changeup at the edge of the plate. He
then walked former Coug Kyle Manzardo but was able to get Bo Naylor chasing after a changeup for a weak-contact double play, neatly fielded by Criswell. If those are the two non-leverage arms those are two acceptable outings from Criswell and
Legumina.
The pitching leaking six runs isn’t the path to winning baseball for any team, let alone the Mariners, but the issue tonight was the offense, which just wasn’t able to click all night, putting up disjointed at-bats. Cal Raleigh struck out to lead off the eighth,
once again not using his challenge despite the pitch looking like it landed outside. Postgame, Dan Wilson reaffirmed that his hitters do have the green light to challenge and they will “remind the guys as much as we can about using the challenges” (which
in Dan Wilson language is about as stern a rebuke as you will get).
Luke Raley's solo home run (1)

“It is new for everybody, and I think it doesn’t jump to the forefront of your mind all the time when you’re in the box. But it’s part of the game now and something we will use.”
One player who isn’t panicking after tonight’s game is Brendan Donovan, who said the focus is on quality at-bats and earning a little “dot” in Kevin Seitzer’s notebook to represent a quality at-bat: “chase as many dots as possible.” Sounding eerily like his
new manager, he praised this group’s ability to not quit, fighting for every at-bat.
“I know we didn’t get the win,” Donovan said, “but it’s cool to show that this group can flip it on a time at any time.”
“I’m excited.“
Sometimes excitement is a blue suit you don’t get to wear and then one day you get to take it out of the closet. The Mariners will seek their first win of the season tomorrow at 6:40 with George Kirby on the mound.
