Seattle Mariners: Top 50 players of all time
By Nick Lee
24. Jim Beattie (1980-1986)
Beattie was a regular part of the Mariners rotation for parts of seven seasons. His best season was 1984, when he got 12 wins with a 3.41 ERA in 32 starts in 211 innings.
He had 12 complete games and two shutouts. He finished his Mariners career with 43 wins, a 4.14 ERA in 163 appearances.
Beattie also struck out 563 in 944 innings. He posted a 14.3 WAR, which is ninth among Mariners pitchers.
23. Raul Ibanez (1996-2000, 2004-2008, 2013)
Ibanez is one of the more recognizable Mariners. Playing on the team in three different stints will do that.
He is in the top 10 in Mariners history in several categories, including slugging percentage (9th), games played (8th), runs scored (8th), hits (6th), doubles (5th), home runs (6th) and RBI (6th).
Ibanez’s best season as a Mariner was in 2006. He hit 33 home runs with a career-high 123 RBI and a .289 average, in 159 games.
He had five 20+ home run seasons in Seattle and collected 1,077 hits. Ibanez was a constant presence in the Seattle lineup, as he averaged 101 games in a Mariner uniform while playing all 162 games twice.
