Mariners Spring Training: The 5 coldest bats

Mariners Honorable Mentions

These players are on the fringe of being “cold” hitters. They have slightly outperformed the Jake Fraley and Evan White group of players.

Braden Bishop

Braden hasn’t been all that bad, but he hasn’t been great. He has had nine at-bats and recorded two hits and one double. Braden has also struck out twice this in the first week of Spring Training. His stat line: .200 average, .333 OBP, .300 slugging, and .633 OPS.

Dylan Moore

D-Moore isn’t having too bad of a Spring. But it is more like we aren’t getting what we expected out of him. Currently, he is hitting .235, .316 OBP, .471 slugging and .786 OPS. Dylan has also hit one home run and stolen one base in Arizona.

Jantzen Witte

I added Witte to this list, but to be fair, he has only had 10 at-bats which isn’t very much compared to the other players. Witte is currently hitting .100 with a .100 OBP, slugging, and .200 OPS.

Sam Travis

Former Red Sox prospect Sam Travis has also been unimpressive. He has just one hit in nine at-bats which equals a .111 average and .273 OBP. I was rather hopeful that Travis could prove himself with a change in scenery but that’s not going so well as of now.

Luis Torrens

The Mariners catcher is also struggling but he just got to Arizona. He only has seven at-bats and is hitless. There isn’t a whole lot to analyze as far as Torrens due to his sample size, so we hope his cold bat won’t last long.

Again, we are only a third of the way through March and players have plenty of time to turn things around. It is always good to look at Spring Training stats, but don’t start scrambling to assumptions just yet. We will revisit the stats in a couple of weeks.
