Part 3/8:
Spearheading the Mariners' rise is their offensive prowess, as their performance since April 9 has been nothing short of extraordinary. The team currently leads Major League Baseball with a weighted runs created plus (WRC+) of 148, making their offense 48% better than the average. This offensive firepower is complemented by a batting average of .263, an on-base percentage of .361, and a remarkable slugging percentage of .470. They are scoring an average of 6.3 runs per game, and despite a high strikeout rate, they are overcoming this with walks and aggressive baserunning.
