ESPN reports that the Seattle Mariners have gone from being one of the worst fielding teams in the majors to one of the best, in large part because of the addition of Robinson Cano at second base and the improvement of Kyle Seager (NW Cabarrus) at third base.

Seager currently ranks second among American League third basemen in defensive runs saved, which will put him in contention for Gold Glove consideration.

The charted numbers show that Seager is vastly improved at fielding balls both down the third-base line as well as in the shortstop/third base hole.

Based on offensive and defensive numbers, Seager has been the fourth most valuable player in the American League this season behind L.A. outfielder Mike Trout, Oakland third baseman Josh Donaldson and Cano.

The Catawba football team got preseason camp under way Wednesday with conditioning tests.

I was pleased to see that many of our men have put in the work over the summer which gives us a chance to concentrate heavily on reviewing our offense, defense and special teams packages.”
