For the 20th time this season, the Mariners made the ultimate dream come true for a baseball player. Whether pitcher or position player, 20 Mariners joined the elite fraternity who can say they have played in the major leagues.
When Justin Dunn, who was called up from the Class AA Texas League’s Arkansas Travelers on Tuesday, stepped on the mound Thursday night, he was No. 20.
Dunn is the 41st pitcher the Mariners have used this season — which broke the single-season MLB record for most pitchers used. He is the 66th player used this season, which adds to the MLB record of most players used in a single season.
