Gilbert First Homegrown Mariners Starter Since 2018
Logan Gilbert has been named the Seattle Mariners' Opening Day starter against the Athletics on March 27, marking the first time since 2018 that a homegrown player has earned this role. Gilbert's selection over veteran Luis Castillo, who had been the starter for the last two seasons, underscores Gilbert's development and standout performance in the previous season, where he led the league in WHIP and posted a 3.23 ERA with 220 strikeouts. Castillo, supportive of Gilbert's appointment, has been a mentor since joining the team, contributing to the strong camaraderie within the Mariners' pitching staff. The decision, announced by manager Dan Wilson, reflects the team's confidence in Gilbert's ability to lead Seattle's robust rotation into the new season. Despite a challenging spring, Gilbert's consistency and potential for growth highlight the Mariners' pitching strengths, although the team still seeks improvements in offensive production.
