Naylor’s Power Struggle | Seattle Mariners News

Josh Naylor leads the Mariners in hits but delivers far less power than expected, with 112 of his 142 hits being singles and a dismal .359 slugging percentage. Signed for $92.5M to be a middle-of-the-order force, he’s fallen short — just 10 homers this season after hitting 9 in his first 54 games. While he’s still a solid contact hitter with 26 steals, his lack of power is hurting an offense already struggling to score runs. A wrist issue may have contributed to his slump, but the Mariners can’t rely on him to magically rebound — they need consistent power elsewhere.
