Team overview
Seattle Orcas at a glance
Seattle Orcas are a founding Major League Cricket franchise representing the Pacific Northwest. The club is operated by an investor group of current and former Microsoft executives and technology leaders—Sanjay Parthasarathy, Satya Nadella, Samir Bodas and Ashok Krishnamurthi, with founding co-owner Soma Somasegar remembered by the organisation—in partnership with the GMR Group.
Marcus Stoinis captained Adam Voges's rebuilt 2026 side. Seattle won four of ten league matches, lost six, collected eight points and finished fifth on net run rate +0.034, one place outside the four-team playoffs.
Tim Seifert led the batting with 379 runs at a 158.58 strike rate, including the team's only century. Matthew Breetzke made 268; Ottniel Baartman took 18 wickets at 13.72; Stoinis and Jasdeep Singh took 16 each. Stoinis's 167 runs and 16 wickets form the clearest two-skill team contribution.
The campaign contained two record-setting extremes: Seattle posted 220/2 in the opener before Texas completed the MLC's first 200-plus chase without losing more than four wickets, then the Orcas defended 121/9 against Texas after Dasun Shanaka took four wickets in the final four balls.
Seattle's club history spans all four MLC seasons. The 2023 side topped the league phase and reached the inaugural final; 2024 and 2025 ended sixth; the 2026 improvement to fifth still fell short of a playoff return.

League and season history
The men's Seattle Orcas compete in Major League Cricket. The club's August 2026 women's T20 exhibition in Washington was a separate three-team development event, not another league season for the men's franchise, so its games and squads are not merged into this record.
