Savastano, who came from Seattle's Minor League system, has played right field, left field, first base, second base, third base, shortstop, catcher and designated hitter. Savastano batted .235/.293/.328 in 58 games with Triple-A Tacoma in 2013, with three homers and 20 RBIs. He has spent all six of his seasons of pro ball in the Mariners' system.
