All Star Game and More

Both Julio Rodriguez and Ty France
were able to play in the all star game
Tuesday night. We could say that 
Julio is one of the new faces of 
baseball.

A number of players were miked 
throughout the game and we were 
able to hear from Julio while out in
center field late in the game. 

The American League won for the 
ninth straight time 3-2. All the runs were scored early on and the winner 
had back to back home runs to come 
from.behind.

On day three of the baseball draft Tuesday the Mariners drafted seven pitchers and three position players.
The first four rounds were pitchers 
before selecting a position player.
According to the head of the farm
department the Mariners have about
signing all their picks. The number one
pick looks like the last one to sign
but expected is expected in Seattle
over the weekend.

Round 11 Marcelo Perez from TCU.
Most of his college career he was a 
reliever though made nine starts this
year. Made Big 12 second team.

Round 12 Troy Taylor right handed
reliever from UC Irvine.

Round 13 Darren Bowen a right handed starter from UNC Pembroke.

Round 14  Tyler Cleveland a right hander who throws side. Went to Central Arkansas. Began as a reliever
however became a starter in 2022.

Round 15 Blake Rambusch first position player taken on day three.
Played college at Auburn. A good hitter and was all conference on defense.

Round 16 Jacob McNairy pitcher at Alabama. He started 12 of 16 games
for the Tides.

Round 17 Stefan Raeth another college pitcher. The Mariners decided to stay
close to home as Stefan pitched for 
the Washington Huskies. Go Dawgs!

Round 18 Brandon Schaeffer a left handed starting pitcher for North Carolina.

Round 19 outfielder Curtis Washington Jr. from Purdue. A right handed hitter and thrower. Considered one exciting
player at Purdue. Let's see him in action.

Round 20 right handed hitting second baseman Nick Zona from.James Madison the last player taken by the
Mariners. The odds are against Nick
playing for the Mariners but you never know.

We wish the best to these young men 
It is an honor to be drafted even if 
never put on a major league uniform.
