With their first of two selections on Day One of MLB draft, the Seattle Mariners selected Jurrangelo Cijntje, a switch pitcher out of Mississippi State. Cijntje (pronounced sain - jah) is a player that we had discussed at length in yesterday’s pre-draft podcast and has been on the Seattle radar for quite some time. A native of Curaçao, Cijntje is an elite athlete and can pitch well into the 90’s with both hands. He’s easily the most unique player in the entire class and is sure to provide a massive amount of intrigue to this system.
