Mariners lead MLB in walk-off wins, and their 2 best hitters don't even have one image

The Seattle Mariners are tied for the Major League Baseball lead in walk-off wins.

Somehow, their two best hitters don't have one.

The Mariners have moved into a tie for first in MLB by walking it off each of the past two nights. Leo Rivas delivered a walk-off homer on Wednesday, and then it was Harry Ford with a walk-off sacrifice fly on Thursday.

It's 10 walk-off winners on the season for Seattle.

But guess who doesn't have any? Cal Raleigh and Julio Rodriguez.

It's quite the fascinating, fluky reality.

Here's the full list of Mariners walk-off hitters:

  • J.P. Crawford - 2
  • Randy Arozarena - 2
  • Cole Young - 2
  • Jorge Polanco - 1
  • Dominic Canzone - 1
  • Leo Rivas - 1
  • Harry Ford - 1

Seattle won't complain, of course. The more hitters that want to display the clutch gene, the merrier.

It's just a bizarre statistic.

You'd think that if seven Mariners had walk-off winners this season, Raleigh and Rodriguez would be on the list.

But that's baseball. It's quite the game. And sometimes, it delivers quirks like this.
