In his first year with the Mariners, general manager Jerry Dipoto will have something that he didn’t in his first two years of his tenure as general manager of the Angels — a first-round draft pick.
On Thursday, the Major League Baseball Amateur Draft — a three-day affair — will begin with the first and second round selections and accompanying supplemental lottery rounds, which will be televised on MLB Network, starting at 4 p.m.
The Mariners will have two picks on Thursday: the No. 11 overall pick of the first round and the No. 50 overall pick in the second round.
