Mariners reportedly call up 2020 1st round pick RHP Emerson Hancock to debut Wednesday

The Seattle Mariners are calling up RHP Emerson Hancock, per reporting by trustworthy MLB insider Robert Murray of Fansided. Shannon Drayer of 710 AM Seattle Sports has confirmed the report, while Ryan Divish of the Seattle Times has noted the club will likely make the move official on Wednesday. Seattle’s 2020 first round pick was selected sixth overall, following Seattle’s 68-94 performance in the 2019 season. The former University of Georgia Bulldog was in consideration for the number one overall pick but fell to the M’s due to injury concerns and the lack of track record exacerbated by the shortened 2020 college season.
