Of the 116 wins, 59 were by four or more runs, setting a record that was later broken by the 2022 and 2023 Los Angeles Dodgers, each with 60 such wins.[2] They also led the majors in both runs scored and fewest runs allowed. The 2001 Mariners hold the record for the most Wins Above Replacement (WAR) by a team in a season in MLB history, with 50.4.[3] Even the 1927 New York Yankees, often considered the greatest team of all time due to their elite "Murderers’ Row" lineup, fell short of the Mariners; they recorded 48.7 WAR, 1.7 less than the Mariners, the second-highest single-season total in MLB history.[3]

On August 5, 2001, the Cleveland Indians accomplished a historic 12-run comeback, defeating the Seattle Mariners 15-14 in 11 innings, after trailing 14-2 in the 7th inning. This remarkable victory, known as the "Great Return," tied a major league record for the largest comeback in a game, featuring five runs with two outs in the ninth inning.

The 2001 season was also notable for the Major League debut of star Japanese outfielder Ichiro Suzuki, who led the league in batting average and won both the AL Rookie of the Year and the AL MVP awards. Additionally, the Mariners hosted their second All-Star Game on July 10.

Winning the American League West, the 2001 season marked the first time the Mariners reached the postseason in consecutive seasons. The team defeated the Cleveland Indians in the ALDS in five games, but fell to the New York Yankees in five games in the ALCS. They became the first team in MLB history to win 110 or more regular season games and fail to reach the World Series. They would later be joined in this regard by the 2022 Los Angeles Dodgers.

Despite the record-setting win total, the Mariners would not reach the postseason again until 2022, which was the longest active drought in the four major North American sports. They would also not win the AL West or return to the ALCS again until the 2025 season.
