The Mariners have dismissed offensive coordinator and bench coach Brant Brown, the team announced Friday.<\/p>\n
Seattle, though sitting in first place in the American League West with a 31-27 record heading into Friday\u2019s play, has struggled mightily as an offense.<\/p>\n
They have struck out the most of any team (594) and have the third-worst OPS in baseball (.656).<\/p>\n
Brown, who previously worked as Seattle\u2019s minor league field coordinator from 2013-17, re-joined the organization in January 2024 to try to help improve the team\u2019s offense.<\/p>\n
He was put in charge of a new position with a focus on the team\u2019s approach and mental side of hitting, working in tandem with the director of hitting strategy, Jarret DeHart. <\/p>\n
But as the 2024 season has progressed, the team\u2019s at-bats have been anything but improving. <\/p>\n
Although the Mariners pitchers have the ninth-best ERA at 3.58, the team\u2019s hitters have the third-worst average (.221) in all of MLB and rank just 27th in on-base percentage (.295)<\/p>\n
On Thursday, the Mariners managed two hits in six innings against Astros rookie pitcher Spencer Arrighetti in what amounted to a 4-0 loss. <\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s still a long ways to go for us offensively, and we know that,\u201d Mariners manager Scott Servais told reporters after the loss. \u201cYou got to look forward to the weekend and score some runs.\u201d<\/p>\n
Even superstar centerfielder Julio Rodr\u00edguez has struggled at the plate this season, hitting just four home runs and striking out 68 times this season. <\/p>\n
His slugging percentage has dropped from .485 in 2023 to .342 so far in 2024. <\/p>\n
\u201cThe biggest thing with Julio has just been timing,\u201d Servais said earlier in May, according to the Seattle Times. \u201cAnd we talk about that and that means different things for different players, but when he starts crashing or rushing forward, he\u2019s still hitting the ball hard but he\u2019s not really staying behind the ball. <\/p>\n
A mid-season coaching change could help spark the Mariners, who are looking to get back to the playoffs after just falling short in 2023.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
