Less than a year after the May 2022 trade, hard-throwing Prelander Berroa is turning heads in Mariners camp as SFGiants infielder Donovan Walton recovers from offseason shoulder surgery.
Before Berroa was traded to Seattle, the right-hander had allowed just one run in 13 1/3 innings and struck out 16 through four appearances at High-A. In 2021, he fanned 135 batters in 98 2/3 innings for Low-A San Jose.
Walton slashed .196/.260/.315 in 92 big league at-bats with the Mariners but had posted a .375 on-base percentage with 38 homers across six minor league seasons before the trade. The 28-year-old's biggest swing of the bat for the Giants in 2022But Walton landed on the 60-day IL in August due to shoulder issues, prematurely ending his season after hitting .158/.179/.303 in 78 at-bats with San Francisco.
Berroa impressed the Mariners in their Cactus League opener Friday, with a fastball in the upper 90s, a mid-80s slider and a revamped changeup, per Divish. Berroa struck out San Diego Padres stars like Xander Bogaerts and Nelson Cruz.While many view Berroa as an eventual big league reliever, Divish noted the Mariners likely will continue to work him as a starter in the minors this season ahead of a potential MLB debut.
