Mariners’ Offensive Struggles: Could Hitting Coach Facing the Axe?

Mariners, MLB, Sports Seattle

The Seattle Mariners have been struggling offensively this season, and it has some fans wondering if the team’s hitting coach is in danger of being fired. The Mariners have been one of the worst offensive teams in the league, ranking near the bottom in most major offensive categories. They are currently dead last in batting average, runs scored, and home runs.

The Mariners’ offensive woes can be attributed to a number of factors. For one, the team has been plagued by injuries to key players such as Robinson Cano and Nelson Cruz. The team also lacks depth in their lineup, with several players having to play out of position due to injuries.

The team’s hitting coach, Edgar Martinez, has been with the team since 2015 and has been credited with helping the team’s offense improve over the years. However, with the team’s recent struggles, some are questioning whether Martinez is the right man for the job.

The Mariners have made some changes to their lineup in an attempt to jumpstart their offense, but so far these moves have not paid off. The team has also made some changes to their coaching staff, including the addition of a new hitting coach, but it remains to be seen if this will help turn things around.

It is unclear if the Mariners will make a change at hitting coach or if they will stick with Martinez for the remainder of the season. Ultimately, it will come down to whether or not the team’s offense can improve over the next few weeks. If not, then it is likely that Martinez will be facing the axe.
