Listen: Kyle Seager talks about his power surge
By 710Sports.com staff
Mariners third baseman Kyle Seager talks about what he did over the offseason to increase his power, which has led to a .511 slugging percentage and a team-high four home runs.
Kyle Seager doesn't consider himself a power hitter.
But the adjustments he made to his swing and to his workout routine over the offseason have led to an increase in pop, evident in his .511 slugging percentage and team-high four home runs.
"So far it's worked OK," Seager told "Bob and Groz" on Monday.
In the video below, Bob Stelton and Dave Grosby share their thoughts on Seager's hot start after speaking with the Mariners third baseman.
Update: Seager is now slugging .495 after Monday's game.

Bob Stelton is the co-host of "Bob and Groz". He came to 710 ESPN Seattle from 101 ESPN in St. Louis and had previously worked for Sporting News Radio in Chicago and Santa Monica, Calif. Bob began his radio career in Seattle in 1997 after a failed attempt to become a rock star. 
Dave Grosby is the co-host of "Bob and Groz." The Groz has spent the last 21 years of his 39-year broadcast career as a Seattle sports talk show host. Dave is also the play-by-play announcer for Seattle U basketball on KTTH 770. Before coming to Seattle, Dave worked at KFI in Los Angeles and KFBK in Sacramento. He's been married to his wife Bonnie for 23 years.
After two years as the producer for "Brock and Salk," Colin Paisley now produces "Bob and Groz." Colin also hosts "Seattle Sports at Night" with Tom Wassell and Matt Pitman. Colin came to 710 ESPN Seattle after five years at various FM music stations in Bellingham and Seattle. In addition to his time as producer and host, Colin likes to spend his time embracing his "Slacker Gen-Y" persona by napping and not caring about stuff. Plus he likes tons of bands you've never heard of, and once you hear of them he'll stop liking them.
