Jarred Kelenic, the outfielder the Mariners picked up from the New York Mets last year when they traded away Robinson Cano and Edwin Diaz, is the undeniable top prospect in Seattle’s system. Kelenic was the Mets’ #1 draft pick (6th overall) in 2018. Dipoto said that he would have picked up Kelenic if the Mariners had been in the position to do so.
Last season, Kelenic played in three different spots in the Mariners farm system. He began at Low-A before moving up High-A, then finishing the year in Double-A.
