It’s a big draft for the Seattle Mariners as they look to turn the corner from a rebuild into a competitive window. They’ve assembled a deep farm, rich in pitching and outfield talent. There’s still work to do on the dirt, but by and large the team is in a position to take a little more risks in the draft.
Selecting no. 12 overall affords Jerry Dipoto and Scott Hunter the ability to reach for upside a little more than in years past. Emerson Hancock was a slam dunk pick with the 6th selection in 2020.
