It's been suggested on social media and over the airwaves the Mariners can't identify and develop MLB-ready hitters. But is this sentiment more perception than reality?
I read your article. It makes sense except for one paragraph.
“Even as we watch two AL West rivals vie for the American League championship, I remain comfortable saying the Mariners aren’t bad at developing hitters.”
^this doesn’t fit. It wasn’t supported in your article.
Cade Marlow (batted .239 in 2023 and was send down to AAA) is one of your 3 examples of players the Ms have developed into a good hitter?
... the rest of your article proves the Ms cannot develop hitters.

Perhaps you should read it again. Where did I say Cade Marlowe was a good (or bad) hitter?
Have a great night.
