It’s prospect ranking season, and it’s time for FanGraphs’ Top 100 list. This year, six Mariners made the cut, again a refreshing change from a few years ago, when there were [consults notes] zero. They are:
5th - Jarred Kelenic (60)
20th - Julio Rodríguez (60)
37th - Logan Gilbert (55)
57th - Emerson Hancock (50)
69th - Noelvi Marte (50)
76th - George Kirby (50)
Of course, at FanGraphs what’s more important than the numerical ranking is the “FV,” or “Future Value” rating, where the numbers are tied to the 20-80 scouting scale and represent a broader future projection for what kind of contributions a player will make at the major league level.
