The Seattle Mariners have been making headlines recently with the return of outfielder Jarred Kelenic, who was acquired in a trade with the New York Mets last season. However, despite the addition of Kelenic, the Mariners have secured a regular role for another outfielder, Dominic Canzone.
Canzone, a 23-year-old from Ohio, was drafted by the Mariners in the fourth round of the 2018 MLB Draft. He has been working his way up the ranks in the minor leagues and finally made his major league debut in 2020. In his first season in the majors, Canzone played in 24 games and had a batting average of .250 with two home runs and seven RBIs.
Despite the addition of Kelenic, Canzone has earned a regular role in the Mariners’ outfield. Manager Scott Servais has praised Canzone for his work ethic and ability to adjust to the major league level quickly. Canzone has also shown an impressive power stroke, which could be a valuable asset for the Mariners going forward.
The Mariners are hoping that Canzone can continue to develop and become a key contributor for them in the outfield. With Kelenic’s return, Canzone will have to compete for playing time, but his strong performance so far has earned him a regular role on the team.
Canzone’s emergence is a great sign for the Mariners, as it shows that their scouting department is capable of finding talented players in the draft. With Canzone and Kelenic in the outfield, the Mariners have two young players with a lot of potential and could be a formidable duo for years to come.
