2025 Fantasy Outlook
Garver joined the Mariners on a two-year, $23 million contract in December of 2023, and he played in a career-high 114 games during his first year in Seattle. He's battled injuries for much of his career but was able to stay healthy in 2024, though his playing time was still limited due to a .172/.286/.341 slash line and 30.9 percent strikeout rate. Garver clubbed 15 home runs as he totaled double-digit long balls for the fourth straight campaign and had a 12.6 percent walk rate, but that was the extent of offensive positives for him in 2024. He made 25 appearances behind the plate and 83 at designated hitter, and he's unlikely to see much more action at catcher in 2025 with Cal Raleigh establishing himself as one of the best at the position. Garver had an .826 OPS in 209 games across the previous three seasons before the down year, but the inconsistent availability throughout his career limits the upside even if he rebounds at the plate in 2025.

Rare start at catcher Saturday
Garver went 1-for-3 with a walk and an RBI in Saturday's 2-1 loss to Houston.
ANALYSIS
It was just Garver's fourth start at catcher in 16 appearances during the month of May, as he's yet to carve out a steady role in the field this season. The veteran backstop has operated mostly as a pinch hitter in 2025, batting .264 (14-for-63) with one homer, one double, eight RBI and seven runs scored over his last 22 games. Cal Raleigh has played each of Seattle's first 51 games, so Garver doesn't have a clear pathway to playing time even with Luke Raley (oblique) on the injured list.

How does Mitch Garver compare to other hitters?
This section compares his stats with all batting seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 400 plate appearances)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that stat and it would be considered average.
* Exit Velocity and Barrels/PA % are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 400 PA) and Hard Hit Rate is benchmarked against last season's data (min 400 PA). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

2017
Garver rebounded from an injury-riddled 2022 season with a productive campaign, posting a 138 wRC+, the third highest of his career. Garver played in 87 games, the most since 2019, but he missed just over one-third of the season after hurting his knee in early April. When healthy, Garver was the everyday designated hitter, mixing in 27 games behind the plate. Garver's success in the batter's box was fully supported by his underlying metrics, which bodes well for continuing to log playing time at designated hitter. Garver has never been known for his defensive prowess, so it's not a surprise the metrics were not kind to him in his limited time defensively. Even so, Garver regained catcher eligibility and at least for the upcoming season, he's borderline useful in single-catcher formats and a solid option in two catcher leagues. He will work as Cal Raleigh's backup and the Mariners' top option at designated hitter when healthy, after signing a two-year deal with Seattle this winter.

Latest Fantasy Rumors

Alone as backup catcher
Garver will serve as Seattle's backup catcher moving forward after Seby Zavala was designated for assignment Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Garver has started 59 of the Mariners' 75 games this season, but only four of those starts have come behind the plate. Cal Raleigh will continue to work as Seattle's primary backstop, but Garver should now see occasional starts at catcher in addition to serving as a designated hitter. The 33-year-old has a .179/.301/.358 slash line this season but has shown signs of life in June with a .927 OPS in 44 at-bats.
