Domingo González, a 6'0", 185-pound right-handed pitcher, was recalled by the Seattle Mariners from Triple-A Tacoma for his MLB debut. After a middling 2025 season (4.47 ERA, 20% K-rate, 11.3% BB-rate), González has made a significant improvement in 2026, posting a 1.80 ERA over 15 innings with a 23.7% strikeout rate and 3.4% walk rate. He works with a four-seam fastball (93.1 mph average) and slider (85.3 mph), generating above-average chase rates (30.5%) and swinging-strike rates (12.7%). Ground ball rate improved to 50% from 44% previously. González has two minor league option seasons remaining and can be freely shuttled between Seattle and Tacoma.
