As the Mariners tumble ever further into irrelevancy, we at the site have been scoping out the 2020 draft class to see what bright lights are on the horizon. So far we’ve previewed a trio of polished collegians who could move quickly up the minor-league ladder: Georgia righty Emerson Hancock, ASU slugger Spencer Torkelson, and tooled-up Vandy Boy Austin Martin. We’ve also delved a little into the prep hitter market, with top-flight five-tool outfielder Pete Crow-Armstrong. Today we look at the possibility of the Mariners taking a prep pitcher in the first round; something that hasn’t been done in the Jerry Dipoto era, and hasn’t been done by the Mariners in the past decade [sadly waves hello to Taijuan Walker back in 2010].
