The Mariners took more pitching with their second selection in today’s MLB Draft, closing up Day Two with a prep arm: 6’4” righty Ryan Sloan, out of York HS in Elmhurst, IL. Sloan is a big, physical kid that is committed to Wake Forest, usually a tough school to sign pitchers away from. That said, there shouldn’t be an overwhelming amount of concern on his signability; teams typically don’t make a selection this high unless they feel confident that he is going pro, and per Scott Hunter, Sloan was already wearing a Mariners hat in his Facetime call with the team, so hopefully that’s a good sign.
