2020 MLB Draft: Mariners select Ole Miss third baseman Tyler Keenan with the No. 107th pick

With the No. 107th overall pick in the 2020 MLB Draft, the Seattle Mariners have drafted Ole Miss third baseman Tyler Keenan and got themselves a big-time bat.

Over the course of three seasons in Oxford, Keenan made the start at third base in all but 14 games. He burst onto the scene hitting .301 with a .520 slugging percentage and nine home runs as a freshman, and earned Freshman All-American honors by Collegiate Baseball and Perfect Game.

His average dropped off slightly as a sophomore, but he still hit .285 with seven doubles, two triples and team-high 15 home runs, accounting for a team-high 66 RBI.
