so looking at the double A Arkansas team.
The Mariners have several top prospects
playing for Arkansas. The Travelers are
in second place in the Texas League
North with a record of 39-23.
Kade Anderson last year's number one
pick by the Mariners is still dominating.
He has a record of 6-0 in 11 games with
an era of 1.13. The opposing batters
are hitting . 157 . He has pitched 55
innings with 87 strike outs. More amazing
he has only seven walks.
Ryan Sloan Mariner number two pitching
prospect got off to a rough start. He showed
his potential on May 30 by throwing a perfect
game in six innings. Like Anderson he doesn't give up a lot of balls and strike outs. The opposing teams have been hitting him
hard sometimes. He still is only 20 years
old and playing in his second professional
season.
Colt Emerson still mentioned as the number
one prospect though on the Mariners now.
So Kade and Ryan two and three.
The top position player is Lazaro Montes
who seems to be around a long time in
the minor leagues is still only 21 years old.
He is from the Dominican Republic and I
have heard his personality much like Julio
Rodriguez. He is an outfielder though called
up at a point should do some dh as well.
He is a left handed hitter. Montes started
the season slow as far as batting average.
He has been hot his last ten games. He
is hitting .378 with five home runs and
18 rbis. On the season he has 20 home
runs already.
#5 prospect is Michael Arroyo who plays
infield and has done some outfield. Unless
the Mariners trade him as a prospect with
the loss in the infield he would likely be
utility player. Like Lazaro he got off to a slow start. In his last ten games he has been hitting .325. Not the same power as Lazaro
and he is 21 as well.
Besides Colt now playing in Seattle those are the only three on the Travelers in top ten. The
other six are lower down.
#13 Terry McGraw right handed pitcher
drafted in the third round out of Wake
Forest in 2023 recently was promoted
from High A Everett had injury problems before this year. He is pitching in relief
this season. He has pitched three innings
in three games with the Travelers and has
not given up a run yet. Terry's last outing
on Sunday.
#16 Michael Morales another right handed
pitcher drafted in 2021. He played half a season for Travelers in 2024 as well as 2025
and now 2026. He has an era of 5.13 this season . Michael's issue has to do with walks
having 27 in 40 innings. Need to turn it around.
#17 outfielder Jared Sundstrom a right handed bat. He is known for power at
the plate however for the second year
with the Travelers he struggling with his
average and strike outs. Jared will need
turn it around to find to the majors.
#20 Marceo Perez was drafted in the
11th round in 2022 out of college. He
seems to improve. Doesn't have
many more chances. He was a starter
but the Mariners have moved him to
the bullpen where he has a chance to
come to Seattle. Every level the
Mariners have a lot of pitchers. They
hope someone will stick. He has pitched
in 8 games with an era of 3.27. He has
always done well not giving up a lot
of walks however his strike rate wasn't as
good after his first season. Now he is
striking out one per inning.
That is it for the top 20 that are at Arkansas.
Update again as the season goes.
