Welcome back to this week’s edition of 2023 MLB draft profiles for your Seattle Mariners! We’re continuing our dive into the high school player pool, this time looking at some guys that are likely to remain at shortstop in their professional careers. The recent chatter I’ve seen regarding the Mariners expected draft strategy indicates that they’re looking to maximize their offensive upside in the early rounds of the draft, and these players certainly fit that bill. I’m not going to pretend I have some inside source telling me something, but with Jerry Dipoto’s recent comments of the draft being “the deepest he’s ever been a part of, particularly on the hitting side,” I certainly wouldn’t wager against Seattle and their three first rounders selecting a handful of position players in the first few rounds.
