PEORIA, Ariz. — Omar Narvaez is expected to do plenty with the bat as the Seattle Mariners new catcher. Narvaez has come into camp committed to establishing a rapport with Seattle’s young pitching staff, and he’s putting in overtime on that effort. “The more you know the guys, the more it’s going to help me to call the game better,” Narvaez said. Taking all the information, the scouting reports, and being able to somehow put it in play during the course of the game.”Narvaez also is concentrating on developing his pitch framing skills. “The value of stealing a 3-2 pitch is huge in our game,” Servais said.
