Ryan Sloan Mariners Pitching Prospect

Ryan Sloan the Mariners second top 
pitching prospect to Kade Anderson 
had been struggling starting the
season however in his last start 
he might have turned the corner.

This is his his first season at double A.

Last start he went six innings and threw 
a perfect game. No walks or hits.  In
fact he stuck out 11 batters as well 
Let's see how he builds from here.

Ryan is 20 years old, second round pick
by the Mariners in 2024. He waited that
long to be drafted since most teams 
figured he go to college first.  The 
Mariners  gambled and he signed 
with  them.

Right now the Mariners have a six 
man rotation. Kade Anderson may 
come upin September if not sooner. 
Ryan maybe  called up next season 
or in 2028.

The Mariners have a solid six man rotation 
plus you add Anderson and Sloan that 
makes eight. It means the rotation could
reduce by three in the next two years.

Anderson's value besides being a very 
good pitcher of the right he is the only
lefty. When he joins the Mariners he will
likely start in the third slot between four
right-handers. 

The Mariners may trade two starters 
which will be difficult to choose among
them.  Luis Castillo is the only one in
his thirties and his contract goes through 
2028. He is a good choice to trade though
be difficult since he has a no trade clause.

Logan Gilbert and George Kirby are the
closest to free agency. If the Mariners 
want to trade one or the other it could 
be in a trade. Gilbert and Cal Raleigh 
have been buddies since they were 
drafted in the same year so it could 
be difficult to trade him. 

Bryan Woo, Bryce Miller and 
Emerson Hancock are the next 
three coming  along. Woo would 
be the one likely to stay. Hancock 
who pitched in relief last September 
could go back to the pen. Miller 
might be a choice there to and 
would be difficult to decide who 
would go. 

Hancock is having a breakout 
season and we could say the best 
starter this season. 

Whatever the case the Mariners 
will get an offensive player to fit 
into their lineup. This could be
third base or the outfield. At this 
point right field. Arozarena who 
is having a very good season will 
be a free agent after the season 
of the Mariners don't resign him 
or he is traded.

This is all interesting while the M's 
are playing good ball now..
