Longtime ESPN scouting and MLB writer Keith Law joined The Athletic this winter, and today he published his preseason 2020 top-100 prospects list there. The list includes four Mariners prospects, led by Jarred Kelenic. The rankings are as follows:
No. 8 - OF Jarred Kelenic
No. 19 - OF Julio Rodriguez
No. 59 - RHP Logan Gilbert
No. 86 - 1B Evan White
The spots are, generally, in line with where most evaluators have had Seattle’s top prospects. Kelenic and Rodriguez are among the game’s elite, with the former appraised as having “the power to get to 30 bombs already and the speed to steal 20-plus bases and likely stay in center.
