Gabe Speier

While Gabe Speier may not have a trophy case, his career is a testament to persistence. A 19th-round draft pick, he defied the odds to reach the majors and has carved out a role as a trusted lefty reliever. His strikeout numbers against right-handed hitters are among the best for a lefty in his role, making him a valuable matchup piece for the Mariners. Representing Team USA in the World Baseball Classic adds an international honor to his resume.
