Olerud was with the Mariners for four seasons and change, and it began with his first of what would be three Gold Gloves with Seattle. He had always been a strong defensive player, but Olerud finally landed those defensive accolades that he had earlier deserved. His bat would remain solid with 2001 and 2002 seeing him bat over .300 with an On Base Percentage over .400. In those two years, he also had at least 20 Home Runs.
The First Baseman was released during the 2004 season as his play declined, but he would finish his Mariners' career with 709 Hits, 72 Home Runs, and a Slash Line of .285/.388/.439.
