Baseball America is rolling out a new feature this year: a Top 100 ranking of the 2019 international signing class. Just as a reminder, this is the group of prospects who signed at the “J2” (July 2nd) deadline in 2019; it doesn’t include anyone who signed after, who are considered part of next year’s class even if they’re already at their respective academies. For the Mariners, this group of excluded players includes speedy Cuban OF Victor Labrada, signed this November, and Top-10 2020 3B prospect Starling Aguilar, who hasn’t signed but has been heavily linked to the Mariners (he already has friends at the M’s DSL Academy and is pictured wearing Mariners gear often).
