In a season that’s been marked by the highest of highs (sweeping the Astros) and the lowest of lows (a series loss to the Blue Jays on the heels of a loss to the Astros that knocked them out of playoff position), consistent performances have been a little thin on the ground for a team that alternates between mowing down opponents and tilting at windmills. When the team was going really well, there was no shortage of heroes, a new one emerging each night. Stats will tell you the most valuable Mariner is Mitch Haniger, our surf-loving California golden boy, but we as a staff would like to recognize our personal favorites among the 2018 Mariners, the players who made the wins sweeter and the losses a little more palatable.
