Cole Young’s Defensive Leap Wins Game | Seattle Mariners News

Cole Young just made history with a game-ending play that sealed the Mariners’ 4-3 win over the Rangers, fielding a ground ball, securing the out at second, and throwing to first for an unofficial fourth out — upheld after the challenge. This season, Young has been a rock in the lineup, playing nearly every game and now leading the American League in defensive WAR at second base while ranking second on the team overall by WAR. Coach Andy Hill credits Young’s explosive growth over the past year — from overlooked to elite — praising his consistency, low error rate (just five in over 500 chances), and unwavering commitment to defense. Young credits Hill as the catalyst behind his transformation, saying the coach taught him how defense can change games — and even win them. With this trajectory, Young is poised to be a cornerstone of the Mariners for years to come.
