It was one of the best days of Taylor Trammell's career and it had little to do with his bases- loaded, two-run single in his first at-bat or the missile of a two-run homer he hit in his second at-bat.

That blast, which Trammell admired for a few seconds after the echoing crack of the bat, had an exit velocity of 107 mph and traveled 417 feet per Trackman data. https://www.mdjonline.com/tribune/regional/mount-paran-grad-taylor-trammell-to-make-mariners-roster-mlb-debut/article_2f21f200-01b3-531a-9490-1… 1/2 3/29/2021 Mount Paran grad Taylor Trammell to make Mariners' roster, MLB debut | Regional | mdjonline.com It was his meeting with Seattle before the game that made it the best day of his career. Trammell was informed that he had made the Mariners' opening-day roster and will make his MLB debut Thursday night at T-Mobile Park against the Giants.

Servais announced the news during an in-game interview with ROOT Sports. He said that Trammell broke down in tears when told he made the team and couldn't wait to call his family with the news.

"Raw emotion," Servais said.

Trammell, who was acquired from the Padres along with three others players in a trade last season, wasn't expected to contend for the opening-day roster. But he played his way into it. His showing Saturday night was indicative of his spring, when he always seemed to make positive plays after showing any sort of struggles. In 18 games and 49 plate appearances, he posted a .302/.388/.628 slash line with 13 hits in 43 at-bats, including five doubles, three homers and 11 RBI.

"He certainly earned it," Servais said. "He's had a heck of a spring training. I think the sky's the limit for him and he's gonna get plenty of opportunities to show what he can do at the Major League level."
