Ben Williamson has made an impression with his all-fields hitting approach and outstanding glove—but the Mariners value another attribute just as much
After being drafted in the 12th round last year, Logan Evans began adding velocity. He just kept going all offseason and is now one of the system’s hottest commodities this spring.
Harry Ford has rare athletic ability and is highly coachable, helping him make quick adjustments in pro ball.
First-round shortstop Colt Emerson had a revelatory pro debut, but the Mariners were equally impressed with hid dedication off the field.
Improved swing decisions have helped 6-foot-4 slugger Lazaro Montes access his power more frequently.
The Mariners’ 2022 first-rounder married an even-keeled approach with a loose, whippy swing and saw big-time results.
The righthander has projectability, athleticism and present stuff all on his side in his first experience as a pro.
A rugged 2022 season cost Alberto Rodriguez his 40-man roster spot, but a focus on conditioning and being present had led to a rebound.
The 2022 second-rounder impressed the Mariners with his power and his at-bat quality.
Swinging at the right pitches and tightening his righthanded swing led to a quick promotion to Double-A for the 20-year-old Clase.
The Mariners were struck by how mature the 18-year-old Colombian shortstop looked at his first spring training in the U.S.
The 22-year-old righthander impressed early in spring training with his exciting mix.
The catcher can hit, run and throw like few others at his position.
Drafted in 2021, Bryan Woo made his pro debut a year later and showcased a three-pitch mix as he rose to High-A and then the Arizona Fall League.
The Mariners pitching coach is constantly adapting—and so too are Seattle pitchers.
As a lefthanded hitter who swings the bat, plays all three outfield spots and runs, Cade Marlowe is now more than late-round curiosity. He’s a future big leaguer.
The Mariners pushed 18-year-old Gabriel Gonzalez to Low-A this season, and it didn’t take him long to adapt to the higher quality velocity and command.
The Mariners fell in love with lefthanded-hitting high school shortstop Cole Young’s swing and didn’t hesitate to call his name in the first round this year.
Taylor Dollard’s breakout at Double-A centered on a single pitch type and command, his “superpower.”
Drafted in the fourth round last year, Bryce Miller has a lot of weapons to work with as he embarks on a full-season debut in High-A.
