Jarred Kelenic, Logan Gilbert and Julio Rodriguez were the most notable of the bunch which left a few Mariners prospects flying under the radar in 2019, possibly none more important than 3B Joe Rizzo.
In the early parts of last year, I discussed Rizzo’s future value and how he could reach his full potential in this article.
Rizzo did that and more in 2019. He owned a slash line of .295/.354/.423 over the course of 518 at-bats with High-A Modesto. He set a new career-high with 10 home runs and 63 RBI.
