This week Kate talks to Louis Boyd, the Vancouver native and University of Arizona product whom the Mariners drafted in the 26th round of the 2017 MLB Draft. A Blue Jays fan growing up, Louis talks about why the Mariners are a great organizational fit for him, and shares the unique story of his draft day. He talks about his love for defense, and his experience at the University of Arizona playing with fellow Mariner Nathan Bannister.
0 - 8:00: General introductions, and a mention of the Mariners’ historic scouting interest in Canada. Louis discusses his JUCO experience at tiny Cochise College, so deep in Arizona it’s practically Mexico, and sells us on the virtues of a town with only a Dairy Queen.
