The Mariners are going to miss Austin Adams. There’s no doubt about it.
You may be asking yourself, how much could a rebuilding team really miss a reliever? After all, relief pitchers are volatile and inconsistent. Hell, Adams himself only has 38 innings in the big leagues spread out over three seasons. 2019 was his best campaign, but it certainly wasn’t something to write home about.
It’s the numbers beneath the box scores that suggest Adams is on the precipice of becoming one of the best high-leverage arms in the league.
