The induction is set for Saturday, Aug. 12 during a pregame ceremony before the Mariners take on the Baltimore Orioles at T-Mobile Park.
Hernández made the American League All-Star Team six times over his 15-year career and won the AL Cy Young Award in 2010, which is given annually to the best pitchers in Major League Baseball. He pitched the first perfect game in Mariners history — and 23rd in MLB history — on Aug. 15, 2012, in a 1-0 win against the Tampa Bay Rays.
In 211 career starts at T-Mobile Park, Hernández posted a 91-65 record with a 3.25 earned run average and 1,348 strikeouts to just 388 walks. “Fans were captivated by Félix from his first start in 2005 until his final pitch in 2019 with every game of his career in a Mariner uniform,” said John Stanton, Seattle Mariners chairman and managing partner. “He cemented his place in Mariners history with our only perfect game on Aug. 15, 2012, a day our fans will never forget.
Hernández will become the 11th member of the Mariners Hall of Fame, joining Alvin Davis, Dave Niehaus, Jay Buhner, Edgar Martinez, Randy Johnson, Dan Wilson, Ken Griffey Jr., Lou Piniella, Jamie Moyer, and Ichiro Suzuki.
