There’s no suspense here. If the top prospect in the Mariners system in our rankings wasn’t going to be Justus Sheffield or Julio Rodriguez, it was always going to be Jarred Kelenic. The former Mets 1st-round pick narrowly eked out the most 1st-overall spot in our ranking, earning seven No. 1 picks over Sheffield’s five. The jewel of the offseason’s most shocking trade earns this spot for his talent, his work ethic, and, in a bit of a Game Theory-sense, the statement of faith the organization has made in him.
