Thanks to everyone who weighed in.

Since there were many similar answers, I’m going to start with the top three players that were named and then I’ll break it down a bit more with my Trademarked Mariners Hot Take Ranking System: Okay let’s break it down by the numbers here. Your third most popular response for which Mariners starter has impressed you so far is…. A two-way tie between George Kirby and Randy Arozarena!

Two mainstays of the team that had sorta down seasons in 2025, Kirby in particular, but are now off to very positive starts in 2026. Randy is leading the team in fWAR with Kirby right behind him .
