Daniel Vogelbach’s locker is tucked in a corner of the Seattle Mariners’ clubhouse, but he doesn’t usually sit in front of it long.
He walks around engaging his teammates before games, often smiling and joking with them, and displays a confidence he hasn’t showed during previous stints in the majors.
“The more you play, the more opportunity you get, the more confidence you get,” Vogelbach said.
