Mariners Pitching Shines, Four Named All-Stars

Seattle Mariners pitcher Bryan Woo has emerged as a standout, recently carrying a no-hitter into the eighth inning against the Yankees and earning his first MLB All-Star selection, now sporting a 2.75 ERA over 18 starts. The Mariners' pitching staff made franchise history by sweeping the Pittsburgh Pirates with three consecutive shutouts, a feat accomplished only 36 times in MLB since 1901. Woo's performance, along with the rotation's collective strength, has helped propel Seattle to second place in the AL West and maintain strong postseason aspirations. The team will be represented by four players at the upcoming 2025 All-Star Game. Additionally, prospect Jurrangelo Cijntje is drawing attention in the Mariners’ system for his unique ability to pitch with both arms, showing more effectiveness as a right-handed starter. The Mariners’ recent success underscores pitching as their foundation for playoff contention.
