Our All Time Top 50 Seattle Mariners have been revised to reflect the 2024 Season
Yes, we know that this is taking a while!
As many of you know, we at Notinhalloffame.com are slowly generating the top 50 of each major North American sports team. That being said, we have existing Top 50 lists and consistently look to update them when necessary and based on necessity. As such, we are delighted to present our post-2024 revision of our top 50 Seattle Mariners.
As for all of our top 50 players in baseball, we look at the following:
1. Advanced Statistics.
2. Traditional statistics and how they finished in the American League.
3. Playoff accomplishments.
4. Their overall impact on the team and other intangibles that are not reflected in a stat sheet.
Please note that our algorithm has changed, which yielded minor changes throughout the baseball lists.
Last year, the Mariners rocketed to a hits tart, but faltered in the second half and did not make the playoffs. The season would still see three new entrants and some elevations.
As always, we present our top five, which saw no changes
4. Felix Hernandez
5. Randy Johnson

20. Julio Rodriguez
Very few players have their begun their career like Julio Rodriguez.
Signed at the age of 16 as an International Free Agent from the Dominican Republic, Rodriguez tore it up in the Minors and was deemed a future superstar by the scouts. He debuted for Seattle as their 2022 Opening Day Centerfielder, and won Rookie of the Month honors in both May and June. J-Rod was proving the scouts right, as this was a five-tool player who joined select company, making the All-Star Game as a rookie. He finished the season with 28 Home Runs, 25 Stolen Bases and an OPS of .853. Rodriguez also was seventh in MVP voting, and won a Silver Slugger.
Rodriguez did not have a sophomore slump as he increased his numbers from his debut year. This time, he blasted 32 Home Runs, 103 RBIs, and 37 stolen bases. Again, he went to the All-Star Game and won his second Silver Slugger and was fourth in MVP voting. In addition, he was an All-MLB 2 Selection. Last season Rodriguez failed to make the All-Star Game, but was solid with 20 Home Runs and a .409 Slugging Average, though that is his lowest production thus far.
Entering his fourth season in the Majors, Seattle has a potential MVP in Rodriguez.
