It’s no secret that the Seattle Mariners have one of the top farm systems in the league but different websites have their own rankings. Many people, including me, gravitate towards MLB.com’s prospect rankings but let’s break down FanGraphs’ prospect list.
MLB.com has five Seattle Mariners prospects in the Top 100
On MLB.com, the Seattle Mariners have just five prospects in the Top 100:
- Jarred Kelenic #4
- Julio Rodriguez #5
- Emerson Hancock #23
- George Kirby #72
- Noelvi Marte #83
The Seattle Mariners have six prospects on the FanGraphs Top 100
On FanGraphs, the M’s have six players in the Top 100 list and the order may surprise you a bit:
- Jarred Kelenic #3
- Julio Rodriguez #9
- Noelvi Marte #11
- Emerson Hancock #45
- George Kirby #49
- Cal Raleigh #92
The one thing that caught me a little by surprise is how high Noelvi Marte is ranked on FanGraphs.
