After thrilling us with a couple position players, the Mariners returned to their OTP with college pitching by taking righty Taylor Dollard out of Cal Poly—alma mater of one Mitch Haniger. Dollard is a by-now familiar archetype for Mariners fans: a 6’3” righty who doesn’t throw overly hard but doesn’t walk anyone. I mean a-ny-one; in 111.1 career innings at Cal Poly, Dollard has walked 27 batters while striking out 121. Dollard also fits the Mariners’ love of Cape Cod performers; in 2019 for the Y-D Red Sox he posted a 1.55 ERA over 17.
