The 1993 Seattle Mariners season was their 17th since the franchise creation. The team ended the season finishing 4th in the American League West, finishing with a record of 82–80 (.506). It was the franchise's first full season under the ownership of Hiroshi Yamauchi. During the 1993 season, Randy Johnson set a club record with 308 strikeouts. It was also the first season he walked less than 100 batters.[1]

The previous fall, the team also introduced a new logo, team colors and uniform set for this season that remain the team's current look to this day (with slight adjustments made in 2015).
