Seattle Mariners Honor Hall of Famers Ahead of Ichiro's Induction

As the 2025 MLB season approaches, several teams are eyeing potential first-time All-Stars. The Los Angeles Dodgers have a few candidates, including rookie sensation Yamamoto Sasaki, who has shown impressive skills in Nippon Professional Baseball (NPB) and could translate that success to the MLB stage. Similarly, the Atlanta Braves and Houston Astros have players like Michael Harris and José Abreu, respectively, who are also on the cusp of their first All-Star appearances due to their standout performances in recent seasons. In Houston, Abreu has been a dominant force in relief pitching, boasting a stellar ERA and high strikeout numbers, yet he has yet to earn an All-Star nod. With a loaded roster, both the Braves and Astros are likely to see their players recognized if they maintain their performance levels. Overall, the upcoming season holds promise for these talented players to finally secure their spots in the All-Star Game.
