A lot of disappointment came out of 2023 for the Seattle Mariners. Largest among them, missing the playoffs. Not quite looming as Mt. Rainier, but still signifcant in stature, was the performance of Ty France. You can’t outright say that France was bad last year, in fact, if you look at his year to year stat lines, one thing France has been is consistent, and this held true for many areas of his game. The cause for hand-wringing lay mostly in the few areas that regressed, both because of how that affected his value last year, as well as possibly foreshadowing the ever looming decline all ballplayers must face at some point.
