Mariners Weekly Rundown: Who’s Hot and Who’s Not

Is the ‘Fresh Prince of Seattle’ ready to be King?
It was yet another amazing week for Taijuan Walker. The 22-year-old right-hander dominated the Cleveland Indians en route to earning his first win of the season. Walker allowed just 1 unearned run on 3 hits across 6 sparkling innings this week. He fanned 6 and did not issue any free passes. The opposition hit a meager .143 against Tai, and he allowed 0.50 walks/hits per inning.
The Yucaipa, CA product is off to a remarkable start in 2016. Walker is 1-0 with a 1.50 ERA through his first 3 outings of the year. He has struck out 14 and walked 2 across 18 innings of work. Prince Tai has limited the opposition to just 0.94 walks/hits per inning.
With Felix Hernandez looking less than Kingly so far this season, it’s fair to wonder if 2016 is the year Taijuan Walker ascents to become the Mariners best pitcher.
