Feb. 18, 2021 — There’s a tangible buzz running though the halls of the Peoria Sports Complex this year. The Mariners are coming off a 2020 season marked by progress and development of the club’s young core, and the group has the hardware to show for it. A Rookie of the Year award and two Gold Gloves later, and it’s time for this talented group of young players to take the next step.
The mindset of this 2021 team can be summed up by one word: Hungry.
Needless to say, after two days of intake testing and physicals, the guys couldn’t wait to get on the field.
