He also hit two grand slams in the same year, Cy Williams, who had made it happen in 1926. In the year 1986 Presley received a spot on the American League All-Star team after hitting .265 with 27 home runs and a record highest 107 RBIs. The injuries began to thwart his career just a few years after, and by 1992, he’d changed from playing into coaching.

The Seattle Mariners drafted Presely in the 4th round of the June MLB draft in 1979. This was the same draft that was attended by Seattle pick the pitcher Bud Black, pitcher Tom Henke and outfielder Jack Thompson, who’d spur the Mariners to join the Cincinnati Bengals of the NFL. Presley made his professional debut at 17 with Seattle’s Single-A team known as known as the Bellingham Mariners. The team was originally drafted as a shortstop, but Presely changed to third base during his short-term career in minor leagues. This helped his chances since, even though Presley struggled at the lower levels with his bat Seattle was drafted in the year 1982. Spike Owen in the first round of the draft in 1982 and quickly pushed to the major leagues. While Presley displayed power, hitting over 20 homers numerous times but his batting average was sagging. In 1984, while an athlete of the Triple A Salt Lake City Gulls, Presely was one of the best seasons as a professional, hitting .317 which included 13 home runs. The season earned him an invitation to the majors in order to fill in for the third position, restricted by veteran Larry Milbourne. Seattle had considered Darnell Coles as a candidate for the position however he was unable to be healthy enough to last long enough. With the shortstop Spike Owen, power hitting first baseman Alvin Davis, Seattle had the potential of a strong infield.
