A Little League World Series star for Saugus, Mass., Pizzano also stood out as a freshman at Columbia with one of the best seasons the Ivy League had ever seen. He batted .374 and swatted 12 home runs, slugging .741. Pizzano didn't let up for the rest of his college career, and the Mariners picked him in the 15th round of the 2012 draft. When he got to pro ball, Pizzano's hot hitting continued. While he hasn't exactly repeated that performance in the upper minors, he has posted promising strikeout and walk numbers, and he was in the midst of promising year at Double-A Jackson before a hand injury cost him the second half of his 2015 season. Pizzano's game is based on his ability to make contact and work counts. He has learned how to use the opposite field better, and he has fringe-average power. Pizzano is limited to left field defensively, putting quite a bit of pressure on his bat. He will have to continue to prove himself up the ladder, but has earned a move up to Triple-A, and he could challenge for a bench spot in Seattle before long.
