Maybe the most interesting comment I’ve heard about Kolten Wong:
Dipoto says while the defense metrics weren’t kind to Wong in 2022, the Mariners see a “range advantage” and the front office has located a specific issue with his hand positioning that they’re working with him on.— Mariner Muse (@MarinerMuse) December 16, 2022
Dipoto says Emerson Hancock is a 2023 breakout candidate and ready to manage the innings load.
Said the Mariners didn’t manage the early part of his development well but have found a better balance in the last 18 months that has them excited about his potential.
