While it wasn’t his best season in Mariner blue, 2022 was still a national coming-out party for Ty France, who earned his first All-Star appearance, despite all his numbers being down from 2021. This was most likely brought on by France’s issues with a left arm injury, received in a game against Oakland on June 23rd, which immediately preceded a so-so June, an atrocious August, and then shaped back into form in time for the playoffs in September and October. Still one has to wonder if we can expect Ty France to take another major step forward this year.
