Cano Continues to Lead the Way for Seattle
Robinson Cano had yet another productive week at the plate for the Mariners. The star second baseman posted a .333 batting average with 2 doubles, 2 home runs and 3 RBI across 7 games. Cano registered a .355 on base percentage and slugged .600 through 30 at bats. He also posted a less than stellar 6:1 strikeout to walk ratio.
It’s becoming clear that the 33-year-old is having an MVP type of season for the Mariners in 2016. Cano is slashing .292/.348/.577 with 18 home runs and 50 RBI through 62 games. This is a complete turnaround from last season, where he was hitting a measly .239 with 2 home runs and 19 RBI on June 12. Robbie is on pace to slug 30+ home runs and drive in over 100 runs for the first in a Mariner uniform.
