Seattle Mariners AAA
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Locklear got his first taste of the big leagues last season but looked overmatched in his brief time with the big club, striking out at more than a 40 percent rate in 49 plate appearances. Contact has not been a major issue for Locklear in the minors with a 22.6 percent strikeout rate, so that number should stabilize over time. Locklear doesn't seem to need any more seasoning after slashing .272/.382/.468 with 16 homers in 111 contests between Double- and Triple-A in 2024, but the Mariners don't appear ready to hand him a full-time job yet. Even if he has to bide his time back in the minors for a while longer, Locklear remains an intriguing power bat who should get his opportunity in Seattle eventually. Read Past Outlooks

Hot bat since return to Tacoma
1BSeattle Mariners  AAA
August 7, 2024
Locklear owns a .409 average and 1.162 OPS with a double, two home runs, five RBI, a walk and seven runs over the 23 plate appearances he's logged with Triple-A Tacoma since being optioned July 30.
ANALYSIS
The rookie's latest stint with the Mariners lasted just five games and 17 plate appearances, a stretch during which Locklear produced an .067 average and mammoth 47.1 percent strikeout rate. However, Locklear has looked right back in his element with the Rainiers, producing multi-hit efforts in three of his past four contests. While Justin Turner (hand) has taken a hold of the everyday role at first base since his trade to Seattle, it's still conceivable Locklear gets another look at the big-league level down the stretch if he continues to perform in a similar fashion at Tacoma.
