Though the Seattle Mariners lost to the Kansas City Royals on Friday night, rookie Ryan Bliss had a night to remember. He hit his first major league home run and made an incredible play at second base. You can see both here.
may have suffered a bad loss on Friday night to the Kansas City Royals, but it was certainly a memorable game for rookie Ryan Bliss.
As part of a seven-run first inning, Bliss hit his first major league home run, a mammoth blast out to left field. Unfortunately, the M's couldn't hold the 7-0 lead and ended up losing 10-9 on a walk-off fielders choice in the bottom of the ninth inning.That play was so good that it even caught the attention of Rob Friedman who almost never posts about anything other than what is being done on the mound.
Acquired from the Arizona Diamondbacks at the trade deadline in 2023, Bliss is ranked the No. 11 prospect in the organization, per MLB.com.Don't let Bliss' 5-foot-6 frame deceive you. While he doesn't have the most raw power, he's found a way to tap into it without selling out for it, something he did in his first full season with a big leg kick, closing off his stance more in 2023 and staying shorter to the ball.
Given that the Mariners are playing a righty on Saturday, expect Bliss to be on the bench, but he should be back in action on Sunday against Cole Ragans.Follow Inside the Mariners on social media
