  • 1B Rowdy Tellez (Mariners) celebrated his 30th birthday on March 16 by going 3-for-5 with a 406-foot solo HR in an 8-3 win over the Reds. In so doing, Tellez may have improved his shot at an Opening Day roster spot. “He’s got the threat of going deep every time…and continues to see the ball and swing the bat well,” Mariners manager Dan Wilson said after the game. So far this Spring, Tellez — playing for his fourth franchise in eight MLB seasons — is hitting .294 (10-for-34) with 3 HRs, 4 RBIs, and a .951 OPS (3/17/2025)

News and Stats

  • Rowdy Tellez wasn’t the only Jewish Mariner to play on March 16. RHP Charlie Beilenson, who pitched in just 4 minor-league games after Seattle drafted him out of Duke U. in 2024, had a rough time in his third Spring appearance, giving up home runs to the first 2 Reds batters he faced in the 9th inning. Beilenson recovered well, though, striking out 2 of the next 3 batters and forcing a third to pop-out to shortstop (3/17/2025)
  • CF Kevin Pillar (Rangers) was hitting just .143 (2-for-14) with one RBI when Texas officially reassigned him from MLB Spring Training to Triple-A on March 5. Oddly, Pillar has remained with the team ever since, and it's worked out for him as well as the Rangers. Since March 5, Pillar has hit .375 (6-for-16) with 5 RBIs and a .429 OBP (3/17/2025)
  • MLB.com recently asked more than 100 Major League players to identify the game’s best pitcher. LHP Max Fried (Yankees) was one of 21 hurlers to get at least one vote (3/14/2025)
