A few days ago, you read about a handful of Mariners prospects who just missed the cut of our Top 40. Today, we begin our official countdown, revealing the last 5 prospects to crack our Top 40 list.
But before we do, let’s review our process. First, the rankers consisted of 4 staff writers. All 4 writers produced a list of their top prospects. The average rank of each player is the spot they landed on our list. In this case, the lower the number, the higher the rank.
Our rankers were not given any criteria for their list.
