For the second time in her WNBA career and first with the Seattle Storm, guard Sami Whitcomb participated in the three-point contest during All-Star weekend and put up a strong performance.

The 2023 Home Run Derby sadly didn’t feature the Seattle storybook ending of Julio Rodriguez winning the crown in his own ballpark, making history along the way before falling to Toronto’s Vladimir Guerrero Jr in the semifinal round. Like every year, the derby was a great opportunity to see some of the young and bright stars of the game showcase their power, with a few surprises mixed into this years event.

The Shohei Ohtani sweepstakes are going to be a slippery slope no matter how you approach it, whether you’re trying to trade for him ahead of this years deadline (August 1st) or putting together a mammoth contract for him to sign this offseason.

Seattle is banking on being able to do that, hoping that this draft is a big step for their future.

In their third battle this season with the New York Liberty, the Seattle Storm once again fought hard all game long in a valiant attempt to upset one of the top teams in the WNBA, but ultimately could not get the closing moments late to go in their favor, partially in part to the fact that Jewell Loyd missed most of the quarter with a left ankle sprain.

In the Celebrity Softball game during MLB All-Star Saturday, it was the stars that hailed from Seattle who shone the brightest. During the second event of the day at T-Mobile Park, there was plenty of offense to witness, with some bad defense and fun moments mixed in.
