Seager Disbelievers?

Kyle Seager had a miserable week at the plate, going 2 for 20 and posting a .100/.217/.150 slash line. Seags hit 1 double and scored 3 runs, but he failed to connect on any home runs or drive in any runs. He struck out 3 times and worked a pair of free passes. The former gold glover also committed his second error of the season at the hot corner.

The All-Star third baseman is having a tough time offensively through the first couple weeks of the season. Seager is hitting a meager .119 with 2 doubles, 1 home run and 5 RBI across 11 games. He has registered a .245 on base percentage and slugged .238 in 42 at bats. Also, his .917 fielding percentage is the worst mark on the team.

Seager remains one of the top players on the Mariners, but his start has been underwhelming at best. Hopefully he can turn things around in the near future.
