Mariners Who Should be All Stars June 16th, 2018

With less than a month until the 2018 MLB All-Star Game, remember to go vote for Mariners players here! There are some M’s who are being underrated right now and are going off, let’s take a look at some stats.



Currently, Jean Segura is tied for the best batting average in baseball with Mookie Betts at .340. In 288 at bats, Segura has 98 hits, 6 homeruns, 44 runs batted in and an on-base percentage of .852. In the last thirty days alone, he is batting .385 and collected 47 hits.



Edwin Diaz is currently the most shutdown closer in baseball, this alone should give him an appearance in the All-Star Game. He is leading the MLB in saves at 27, the next best pitcher has 22. He is putting up a 2.37 earned run average and has 62 strikeouts in 38 innings. When he comes into pitch, you know he’s going to blow the ball right by you with a 100 mile per hour fastball.



Nelson Cruz should really be an all-star this year, he is hitting .249 as the designated hitter for the M’s and has 17 homeruns and 54 hits on the season. This is only six homeruns and 2 hits behind first place respectively and he is the best DH in the American League.



Mitch Haniger is a living highlight reel in right field. He is making plays left and right is also a large factor in the offensive production. He has 53 runs batted in and only is 2 behind first place, tied with a .269 average and 16 homeruns. He leads all Mariners in on-base percentage plus slugging at .868.
