IN THE COMMUNITY
THE SEATTLE MARINERS COMMITMENT TO THE COMMUNITY
The Seattle Mariners have long been dedicated to serving our communities.
In recent years, the Mariners have brought two campiagns to the forefront of the work we do in our
community: preventing homelessness and making baseball and softball accessible to young players.
To address those issues, the Mariners have launched two community initiatives:
Home Base – To help tackle King County’s homelessness crisis by reducing the number of people
who lose their homes due to eviction.
COMMUNITY
On BASE – To help make baseball and softball more accessible to kids across the Northwest by
providing grants for teams, training opportunities for coaches and athletes and financial assistance for
those who are not able to afford the cost to play.
HOME BASE
In 2019, the Mariners made a sub-
stantial commitment to our commu-
nity’s response to the homelessness
crisis.
Through a $3 million founding grant,
the Mariners helped establish Home
Base, an eviction prevention program
through the United Way of King County
and King County Bar Association.
During its first six months, Home
Base provided legal or financial assis-
tance to over 1,400 households to help
avoid eviction.
Eviction is the leading cause of
homelessness. The goal for Home Mariners Chairman and Managing Partner John Stanton speaks at the
Base is to help prevent up to 4,000 announcement of Home Base on Dec. 14, 2018.
evictions each year.
Home Base works to keep thousands of people facing eviction in their homes by:
• Providing legal representation through scaling up the King County Bar Association's volunteer
attorney program, the Housing Justice Project, which helps low-income clients facing eviction;
• Making flexible funds (provided by the Mariners and administered by United Way) available to
clients to pay back-rent that is owed;
• Offering the guidance of a caseworker to prevent the person or family from facing eviction again.
“In a community as vibrant and successful as ours, it’s heartbreaking that so many people don’t
have the most basic necessity of a warm, dry, safe place to live. Home Base can make an impor-
tant and lasting difference in the lives of thousands of people, and the Seattle Mariners are proud
to be a part of this innovative, collaborative solution.”

In 2018, the Mariners unveiled an initiative designed to make baseball and softball more accessible to
young players across the Pacific Northwest.
Through new and exisiting programs and partnerships, the Mariners launched On BASE – Baseball
and Softball Everywhere.
On BASE supports a network of coaches, athletes, and community
members who collaborate together to increase access to safe, com-

petitive, and positive playing experiences for young athletes ages 5-18
across the Pacific Northwest.
In addition to existing youth baseball and softball programs, On BASE
encompasses a variety of new efforts across the Northwest to address
challenges young athletes face in their communities. On BASE provides
grants for baseball and softball teams, training opportunities for youth
coaches and young athletes and provides financial assistance to those
who are not able to afford the cost to play.

Donation Grant program annually awards ten $5,000 grants to high school baseball and softball
teams in Washington State to help pay for equipment, uniforms, field maintenance and other
expenses associated with operating a successful program.
MARINERS CARE
Mariners Care, the Seattle Mariners non-profit foundation, and its corporate partners,
helped provide $1.5 million for a variety of charitable programs throughout the Northwest
in 2019. Since 1991, when Mariners Care was established, the nonprofit has helped raise
over $28 million to benefit primarily youth-oriented community service programs.

(22 different injured list placements) and used 61 different players,
including 40 pitchers (17 starters) while remaining relevant in the wild card race into the seasons final
days despite having four of the projected five starting pitchers spend time on the IL.
In his first months on the job in 2016, Dipoto completely remade the Mariners Major League roster,
as well as revamping the Mariners Major League staff, scouting and player development departments.
The reshaping of the roster and minor league system resulted in the 2016 Mariners organization play-
ing 927 total games (at all levels) and only one -- the final regular season game for the big league club
-- not having playoff implications. The Mariners were in the race through 161 games, and each of the
seven minor league affiliates advanced to the postseason.

1, 2015.
Dipoto was the Angels GM from Oct. 29, 2011-July 1, 2015, helping guide the club to the American
League West title in 2014, finishing with the most wins (98) in the Majors. Notable acquisitions during
his Angels tenure included trades for All-Stars Huston Street, Zack Greinke, David Freese and Héctor
Santiago, and the free agent signings of Albert Pujols (2011) and C.J. Wilson (2011).
In his 19th season as a baseball executive, Jerry got his start immediately after retiring as a player in
2001. He was a special assistant for the Colorado Rockies (2001-02), followed by two seasons working in
the scouting department for the Boston Red Sox (2003-04). He returned to the Rockies as the Director of
Player Personnel (2005) and then moved to the Arizona organization as Vice President of Player Person-
nel (2006-10) and was appointed the Diamondbacks interim General Manager on July 1, 2010. He spent
the 2011 season as the D-Backs Sr. VP of Scouting and Player Development.
Dipoto appeared in 390 Major League games, all in relief, with the Indians (1993-94), New York Mets
(1995-96) and Colorado Rockies (1997-2000). A right-handed pitcher, he compiled a career 27-24 record
with 49 saves and a 4.05 ERA prior to retiring during Spring Training in 2001 with a bulging disc in his neck.
He was originally selected by the Cleveland Indians in the 3rd round of the 1989 June Draft out of
Virginia Commonwealth University (Richmond, VA). Dipoto led the Rams to their first appearance in the
NCAA Tournament in 1988 and remains in the top 10 in VCU history in several pitching categories. Dipoto
played high school baseball at Toms River High School North in New Jersey.

HOW TO FIGURE
Batting Average — Divide the total number of hits collected by a player by the total
number of at bats. Example: Player A is 12-of-40 or .300.
Slugging Percentage — Divide the number of total bases by the total number of at
bats. Example: Player A’s 12 hits include six singles (6), one double (2), two triples (6)
and three home runs (12) for a total of 26 total bases in 40 at bats and a .650 slugging
percentage.
On-Base Percentage — Divide the total of hits, walks and hit by pitch by the total of at
bats, all bases on balls, hit by pitch and sacrifice flies.
Earned Run Average — The total number of earned runs allowed by a pitcher is divided
by the total number of innings pitched and then multiplied by nine for his per-game
average. Example: Pitcher B has allowed 12 earned runs in 45 innings of work for a
2.40 ERA.
Fielding Percentage — The sum of putouts and assists is divided by the sum of putouts,
assists and errors. Example: Player C has made 16 putouts and 24 assists and two
errors. That’s 40 putouts and assists divided by 42 chances for a fielding average of .952.
Magic Number — Determine the number of games yet to be played by the division
leader, add one, then subtract the number of games ahead in the loss column of the
standings from the closest opponent.
