Last year, Ken Griffey Jr. was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame after being selected on a record 99.32 percent of ballots cast. It’s little surprise that the longtime Seattle Mariners outfielder also leads the franchise’s all-time roster determined by Wins Above Replacement.
SEATTLE MARINERS ALL-TIME ROSTER
Griffey amassed a career WAR of 83.6, the vast bulk of which (70.4) came with the M’s. The team’s other biggest contributions came from designated hitter Edgar Martinez (68.3) and outfielder Ichiro Suzuki (56.8). In 2018, pitcher Felix Hernandez, who is the top pitcher in the club’s history, had his first season with a negative WAR.
