The Mariners have played 43 games. They are one-quarter of the way through the season of 162 games. This check-in looks first at the Mariners' batting statistics, then their pitching numbers, and finally at the American League as a whole to see where the Mariners fit.

How the Mariners Look at the Plate

The Mariners' batting is heating up. Last year and into this year, hitting has been the Mariners' weakest area compared to pitching and fielding. Just take some of the numbers and multiply them by four in order to compare what end-of-the-sesason totals might be and how they looked compared to 2022. Note the performance by Cal Raleigh at Fenway Park.

How the Mariners have done on the Mound

Starting Pitchers -There have been a few changes since Spring Training in the Mariners' pitching. Starting pitcher Robbie Ray is out for the season with an injury, surgery, and recovery. Luis Castillo is having a somewhat inconsistent start. Logan Gilbert and George Kirby are steady. Chris Flexen, Easton McGee, and Bryce Miller have been pitching so that the team can still have a five-man pitching rotation

Relief Pitchers and fill in starters- Unfortunately, we have not been able to watch Andres Munoz shock batters since he has been recovering from an injury. We have a number of new guys starting on the mound (Easton McGee and Bryce Miller) and as relievers. They are doing a great job.

Looking at the American League as a Whole

While it is a bit early to start thinking about the post-season, it is a good idea to see where all of the American League teams stand as of May 15, 2023, a quarter of the way through the season. It is clear that the American League East is the most competitive division, having four of the top five teams. AL Central appears to be the least competitive since four teams are in the bottom five.

The AL West is then in the middle between the other two. (The fourth column indicates the Mariners interaction with these different teams. A group of Ws and Ls means that they have already played them. Dates indicate future contests according to the schedule. I also added Home and Away information.

This makes for an excellent little graphic to see where the Mariners sit, and it's also a quick way to see how they've done against the other teams in the American League so far. It will be interesting to see how the team looks in the season's second quarter. We will check in again halfway through.
