Cole Young Shows Defensive Improvement in Mariners Spring Training

Mariners infielder Cole Young, competing for an infield spot, demonstrated significant defensive improvement in Monday's spring training game against the Dodgers. While he struck out twice at the plate, Young made several impressive plays at second base, including backing up an error, turning a double play with a strong throw, and ranging to his right for a diving stop. These plays address areas that hindered his value last season, making his early spring performance encouraging.
