16 picks the Mariners took in the mlb
draft.
The 17th round pick was a pitcher
from North Carolina followed by two
outfielders and final pick was another
third baseman. In the draft the Mariners
picked four third baseman with three
in the first six rounds. Ace Reese the
number one pick was listed as a third
baseman although the thought is the
Mariners will move him to first base.
The Mariners didn't draft anyone listed
as a first baseman. The Mariners don't
have anyone listed strictly as a third
baseman in the top 30 prospects.
It will be interesting to see where these
picks in the top 30.
The 18th and 20th pick will likely not sign
with the Mariners. The 18th pick was the
only high school player the Mariners pick.
He is expected to go to LSU. The 20th
pick is expected to return to Texas Tech.
The Mariners will keep an eye on both.
The 18th pick won't be eligible for the
draft until after his sophomore season.
The Mariners said that high school seniors
were not as strong a group as in past
years.
The Mariners will likely send all their picks
they sign to Arizona for orientation and
working out. Since the minor league seasons
end at the end of August except triple A
those sent to teams will have about 30
games to play.
Will update how these guys do. We won't
know where most will do among the top
30 prospects until going into the 2027
season. Go M's
