Mitch Haniger was one of 22 different rookies to see action for the Mariners in 2017, and he was one of several newcomers to play an important role for the club.

Haniger hit .282 (104x369) with 58 runs, 25 doubles, 2 triples, 16 home runs, 47 RBI, 31 walks, a .352 on-base percentage, a .491 slugging percentage and an .843 OPS in 96 games with the Mariners in 2017.

Because of two trips to the disabled list — one for a strained right oblique and one after being struck in the face by a 95 mile-per-hour fastball by the Mets Jacob deGrom on July 29 — Haniger did not record the minimum plate appearances to qualify among the rookie leaders in batting, on-base percentage, slugging and OPS.

But among all rookies with at least 400 plate appearances in 2017, Haniger ranked 3rd in on-base percentage, 4th in OPS and 5th in batting and slugging.

“When he’s healthy and he’s playing every day, you see how he goes about it and his preparation start to pay off,” Mariners manager Scott Servais said.
