Kyle Seager’s ‘Hall of Pretty Good’ nod is a bittersweet honor for Mariners legend

Former Seattle Mariners third baseman Kyle Seager has been nominated for induction into the MLB Hall of Pretty Good, an online platform created by Bryce Whitlow. While Seager does not meet Baseball Hall of Fame standards, Paul Taylor of Sodo Mojo writes that the nomination is a bittersweet honor for one of the franchise's greatest players, noting Seager ranks fifth in Mariners history with a 37.0 bWAR.

Taylor contends that Seager was actually better than "pretty good" during his prime, citing a 2014 to 2016 stretch where his 18.5 bWAR ranked third in MLB behind Mike Trout and Josh Donaldson. Seager needs 65 percent of the vote to secure induction, providing Mariners fans an opportunity to celebrate his 11-year career despite his absence from postseason play.
