The Mariners experienced some improvement at the catching position in the 2016 season. Then again, that was likely to happen considering on how truly awful the production was in 2015.
But in terms of Fangraphs WAR, the 2017 group produced a 2.5 Wins Above Replacement (WAR) last season, which was fifth overall in the American League. That positive number stems largely from positive contributions on defense. But from an offensive standpoint, Seattle experienced improvement in batting average, on-base percentage and slugging.
And yet, do the Mariners or fans feel any more certain about the position going forward?
