2018 Mariners Spring Training Non-Roster Invitees – Infielders

Beckham being on this list is somewhat perplexing to me. In 2009 he was listed as the #20 prospect in all of baseball while playing in the Chicago White Sox organization. He logged 150 and 151 games for the White Sox in 2011 and 2012 respectively and looked to be well on his way to every day status.

Injuries eventually plagued the second baseman which hindered his ability to get things going offensively. 2014 was the last year Beckham hit for an average over .212 and his career slash line of .239/.303/.369/.672 leaves much to be desired.

Cowan is a soon-to-be 23-year-old utility infielder, who has spent his entire 5-year career in the Mariners organization.
