The Seattle Mariners have a lot to be proud of this year, as two of their players, Julio Rodriguez and George Kirby, have been named to the American League All-Star Team. This is a huge accomplishment for both players, and a testament to the hard work they have put in throughout the season.
Julio Rodriguez is a 20-year-old outfielder from the Dominican Republic. He was signed by the Mariners in 2017 and has quickly become one of the team’s top prospects. He has had an impressive season so far, hitting .311 with 12 home runs and 37 RBIs. He is also a great fielder, with an impressive .976 fielding percentage.
George Kirby is a 24-year-old pitcher from California. He was drafted by the Mariners in 2019 and has been a key part of their rotation this season. He has a 3.09 ERA and has struck out 67 batters in just over 70 innings pitched. He has also been very efficient, allowing just one walk every nine innings.
These two players have been integral to the Mariners’ success this season, and their selection to the All-Star team is well deserved. It is a great honor for both of them, and a testament to their hard work and dedication. It is also a great sign for the future of the Mariners, as these two young stars are sure to be a big part of the team’s success for years to come.
