It’s hard to be a Seattle Mariners prospect right now. There are so many big names at the top that many good prospects are hidden in the shadows. I guess for us it’s a good problem to have but we need to shine the light into the shadows every once in a while.
One of those guys in the shadows is Austin Shenton. He might be a little more well-known than some of the other prospects because he is a local kid, but I don’t think many people realize how good he has been this season.
