U.S.S. Mariner is a blog focused on the Seattle Mariners, a Major League Baseball team. It was created in 2002 by authors Derek Zumsteg, David Cameron and Jason Michael Barker. The site features a mixture of sabermetrics and scouting information in analysis of the team.
Zumsteg, a Seattle native, is the author of The Cheater's Guide to Baseball as well as a former contributing author of the baseball annual and website Baseball Prospectus. He also wrote a weekly "Off the Wall" column for the Seattle Post-Intelligencer in 2005 and has had his fiction work published on Escape Pod
Cameron has written extensively for Baseball Prospectus, The Hardball Times, FanGraphs, The Wall Street Journal and various other publications, both on-line and in print. He is also a scheduled weekly guest of "The Groz" on KJR AM radio in Seattle, WA at 2:20 pm every Friday.
Barker is the creator of the Cooking with Jason blog and was previously a contributor to Grand Salami Magazine and StrikeThree.com.
Among the notable accomplishments of the site:
- Coining the nickname "King Felix" for the Seattle Mariners pitching phenomenon Félix Hernández.
- An "open letter" to Mariners' pitching coach Rafael Chaves about Hernandez's pitch selection that was cited as an influence in Hernandez altering his pitch selection.
