3 key takeaways for the Mariners from the Yankees series

3. Some guys are still setting important individual milestones

In the face of all of the cumulative disappointment from this year, there are still a few bright statistical spots to appreciate. Cal Raleigh hit 30 home runs for the second season in a row, Dylan Moore recently stole his 30th base, Julio's 75+ home runs and 80+ stolen bases in his first three major-league seasons puts him in elite company, and Logan Gilbert surpassed 200 strikeouts for the first time in his career.

We all know that baseball is a team sport and individual accolades can be somewhat forgotten in the grand scheme of things but these numbers go to show how talented the Seattle Mariners really are. While it's rare for everyone on the team to get going at the same time, so many players on this roster have incredible upside. Many of the aforementioned names are under team control for a few more years which gives the organization a little more time to make use of their elite pieces. Maybe 2024 wasn't the year, but who's to say the team won't be competing more seriously in 2025 and beyond?
