Mike Zunino is unquestioned starter for Mariners

Seattle Mariners catcher Mike Zunino has started 10 out of the last 13 games behind the plate.

What It Means:

Manager Scott Servais essentially confirmed what has become obvious over the last two weeks: Zunino has wrestled away the starting catcher job from Chris Iannetta. "We’re going to give Mike a chance to play," Servais said. "This year is about Mike Zunino and putting him in a good spot. Keeping him going. We’ve got to find out what we’ve got."

Zunino sports a .263/.391/.737 batting line with five homers over 46 plate appearances this season. He has a .459 wOBA that we project will drop closer to a .307 mark over 59 more plate appearances this year.
