Kyle Seager, third baseman, Seattle Mariners
We know the other Seager, but not many of us are enamored with his brother Kyle Seager, who plays for the Seattle Mariners. (This is always brought up, so let’s make sure the spotlight is shined upon Kyle today.)
Seager had a strong first half last season hitting .287/.365/.537. He hit a bit of a speed bump in production but came on strong in August. His September and October months weren’t so great, and he struggled towards the beginning of the season. But once he starts cranking his stride he shows tremendous promise.
This is seen in the .278 batting average he finished the season with, not to mention a 5.5 WAR, which is a career high for the 29-year-old.
Seager has a lot of attention on him this season, and while the American League West isn’t the toughest division, he will certainly hold his own.
