Seattle Storm select Jalen Sundell's sister Serena Sundell in WNBA draft
Sundell was the Storm's first selection. The Seattle-based professional women's basketball team did not own selections in the first or second round as a result of previous trades. They did own two additional picks in the third round, drafting TCU's Madison Conner and Michigan's Jordan Hobbs.
Jalen Sundell joined the Seahawks as an undrafted free agent last year. He ended up making the 53-man roster, earning a role as a reserve interior offensive lineman. The Seahawks see developmental potential for Sundell as he prepares for his sophomore campaign in 2025.
"He can play several different positions," general manager John Schneider said about Sundell during the annual league ownership meetings. "The staff really likes him. He's smart, tough, reliable. That's going to be interesting. Those two guys, that's going to be pretty interesting there, but center's going to be hard (to find an upgrade in the draft)."
Sundell is apparently scheduled to compete for a starting gig. He'll have the nearby support of his sister who will be embarking on her professional basketball career with the Seattle Storm. Congratulations to the Sundell's!

Mariners' Julio Rodriguez uses epic golf swing to make MLB home run history
Mariners' Julio Rodriguez uses epic golf swing to make MLB home run history originally appeared on The Sporting News Julio Rodriguez might not be a golfer, but he broke out his best golf swing for the Seattle Mariners on Wednesday. He hit one of the lowest pitches you'll ever see taken out of a ballpark for a home run. In fact, his home run came on the lowest pitch ever measured that ended as a HR in Mariners pitch tracking history (dating to 2008), per MLB Network's Sarah Langs. It was the second-lowest hit for a homer ever in that span across MLB, behind Joc Pederson by just three-hundredths of a foot.

Have a look: It tried to set the tone, too, coming in the top of the first inning. The Phillies had all the fun the rest of the way, sadly, spoiling the Seattle party. MORE: No one in modern baseball hits triples like Corbin Carroll But Julio got his piece of history regardless. It marked his 25th home run of the season, the third time he has reached that number across four MLB seasons. His career-high for homers is 32 (2023), which is in reach. Rodriguez is batting .262 with a .782 OPS and 23 steals, as well. He remains an impressive do-everything centerfielder for Seattle, and apparently he can hit any pitch, too.

Photo byHow to Watch Seattle Sounders FC vs Club Puebla Date: Wednesday, August 20, 2025 Time: 11:00 PM EDT Location: Lumen Field, Seattle Channel: FOX Sports 1 Stream: Fubo (TRY FOR FREE) Seattle has already matched last year's record by reaching the quarter-finals of the Leagues Cup, but is now looking to best that feat at home to Mexican side Puebla on Wednesday. The midweek matchup will present the maiden meeting between these teams, with one team on fire in its domestic division while the other is struggling immensely. The Sounders are looking like shoo-ins to reach the Major League Soccer play-offs as a bare minimum. Brian Schmetzer's men sit fourth in the Western Conference after a recent stretch of 10 games unbeaten, though that run came crashing down in a 1-0 defeat to Minnesota over the weekend. Puebla, on the other hand, sits 17th in Liga MX's Apertura standings after winning just one of its five games so far this term. La Franka beat MLS sides New York City FC and Montreal in the group stage of this year's Leagues Cup but did fall 3-1 away to Columbus Crew. Danny Musovski has been in fine fettle up front for Seattle this season and has 12 goals in 32 games for Wednesday's hosts. Meanwhile, Uruguayan Emiliano Gomez has been Puebla's main source of goals in the Leagues Cup as he looks to add to his plunder this week.
