Second Day of MLB Draft. Look at the Mariners

Monday the baseball draft were rounds

three through ten. Tuesday will be 11 

through 20 and end the draft.

The Mariners drafted five more

pitchers along with two catchers

and an outfielder. 

Mariners number two pick on Sunday

Ryan Sloan is the lone high school 

pitcher of the group. The Mariners will have to psy him more than the slot to sign him which they should. He maybe the best 

high school pitcher in the country.

Third round pick is Hunter  Chranton from

Kansas. He will turn 24 in the fall so must be a late bloomer. A reliever Hunter could

move up the system fast. Number four pick is the first of two catchers in Josh Caron

from Nebraska. He hit .308 and had 16

home runs so showing some power.

5th round pick Charlie Beilenson another

right hander is 24 years old and another

reliever as well. He played at Duke though

spent time at Brown. Sixth rounder is 

Grant Knipp a catcher from Campbell

University in North Carolina. A lower  level

than the other catcher he hit .408 and

had 18 home runs in 29 games. Certainly

looks like a guy for the Mariners take

a chance on.

7th rounder is Brock Moore another

right handed pitcher who is 24 years

old to from Oregon. He played lower 

level college ball to. Another guy

the Mariners are taking a chance

on. 8th rounder pitcher from Virginia

Military Institute is Will Riley.  He to

is another one the Mariners will work

on. He is committed to transfer to

Virginia so we will have to see if

the Mariners can sign him or not.

9th rounder is Aiden Butler a junior

college pitcher who has committed

to Florida State..He is younger than

any of the pitchers except Sloan

the second rounder. See if Butler 

will sign or not. Usually the top

ten are more likely to sign. 

The Mariners final pick Monday

is outfielder Anthony Donofrio

from North Carolina. The tenth

round pick is a senior and hits 

left handed. Played some division

3 baseball so has matured. He

hit .326 this year. Anthony has

some spped to. The Mariners

should be able to sign him.

It seems a lot of these guys

are older and with potential.

We will have to see what happens.

The top of the group have a 

better chance to.make it to

Seattle. The way the Mariners

develop pitchers we could see

some surprises.

Tomorrow's group drafted will

either not sign with the Mariners

or certainly have a harder chance

making it but never know.
