SEATTLE -- Scott Hunter came up for air and out for sunlight when breaking from the Mariners’ many meetings leading up to the 2026 MLB Draft. And as Seattle’s vice president of amateur scouting was previewing this year’s crop, he reflected on just how vital this event has become to

SEATTLE -- The next two high-profile hitting prospects in the Mariners' system are a step away from the big leagues. Sunday, the club promoted both outfielder Lazaro Montes and infielder/outfielder Michael Arroyo to Triple-A Tacoma, sources confirmed to MLB.com's Daniel Kramer. The club has not confirmed the promotions.

Kade Anderson just made his first start since becoming MLB Pipeline’s top-rated pitching prospect, and it only proved further why he earned that designation. Anderson, the Mariners’ No. 1 prospect and MLB’s No. 5 overall, struck out nine on Friday across six innings of two-run ball. Despite the gem, Anderson

Jonny Farmelo has long tantalized scouts with his dynamic toolset -- when he's been able to stay on the field. Finally healthy over a sustained period for the first time in pro ball, he's fulfilling the potential that made him the 29th overall pick in the 2023 Draft. MLB's No.

SEATTLE -- The Mariners were well represented at the very top of MLB Pipeline’s adjusted re-ranks to its Top 100 prospects list that were unveiled on Monday night. Headlining that group was Kade Anderson, who climbed to No. 5 overall and is now listed as the top pitching prospect in

On Friday night, left-hander Kade Anderson, the Mariners' No. 2 prospect, struck out nine batters in his start for Double-A Arkansas. Right-hander Ryan Sloan must have viewed that as a challenge to him.

Every Friday night (and one Saturday because of rain) has been an occasion in the Double-A Texas League in 2026. Somewhere on the circuit, the Arkansas Travelers fill out the lineup card with one name in the starting pitcher slot: Kade Anderson. The third overall pick from the 2025 Draft

CLEVELAND -- A homecoming throughout this road trip has given Colt Emerson a hefty dose of both nostalgia and perspective, blended through the huge presence of those he loves most while doing what he loves most. And because of those very distinct emotional states, you’d never know that the Mariners’

The Mariners’ farm, tied for the MLB lead with seven Top 100 prospects, is seeing standout performances left and right. Lazaro Montes is just one of the latest. Montes hit two home runs on Thursday, his 10th and 11th long balls of a scorching hot June. He had four hits

When Felnin Celesten joined the Mariners organization at the start of the 2023 international signing period, he was touted as potentially the highest upside shortstop on the market in a decade. Seen as a potential five-tool player as he fills out, the hype has continued to grow. The only thing

“On-fire” may not even be enough to describe Felnin Celesten right now. The Mariners’ No. 7 prospect and MLB's No. 97 overall, Celesten homered in a third consecutive game on Tuesday, aiding a 5-2 win for High-A Everett over Eugene at PK Park. Celesten went 3-for-5 overall, his fourth game

Scoring on Kade Anderson? That's been almost nearly impossible for more than a month. The Mariners’ No. 2 prospect twirled another gem Friday night in what’s been a remarkable run with Double-A Arkansas in a 4-0 win over Frisco at Riders Field.

Lazaro Montes joined elite company with one swing Sunday. MLB's No. 27 prospect clubbed his 20th home run of the season in Double-A Arkansas' 12-7 victory over rival Northwest Arkansas at Dickey-Stephens Park. The eighth-inning, two-run shot clinched a third consecutive season of at least 20 roundtrippers for the Mariners

Rain, rain, go away -- unless it sets up for a top prospect doubleheader day. Inclement weather rolled through North Little Rock, Ark., on Friday. While postponements can often lead to logistical issues, this one resulted in a special double feature at Dickey-Stephens Park on Saturday. Kade Anderson and Ryan

Jonny Farmelo and Felnin Celesten as a duo are as dialed in as any hitters in June. Ranked just one spot apart among the top prospects in the Mariners' system, Farmelo -- No. 6 -- and Celesten -- No. 7 -- took inspiration from one another and homered in the

BALTIMORE -- Colt Emerson, it appears, will avoid the injured list. The Mariners’ uber-talented infielder was out of the Mariners’ lineup for the third straight day on Wednesday, but he did take swings in the cage for the first time since suffering a back spasm when throwing to first base

As the calendar flips to June and the weather continues to heat up, so does the bat of Lazaro Montes. The Mariners' No. 4 prospect continued his torrid start to the month Friday night in Arkansas' 11-2 win over Northwest Arkansas at Dickey-Stephens Ballpark, as the outfielder delivered a 3-for-4

BALTIMORE -- The banged-up Mariners had to like what they saw in the Pacific Northwest on Tuesday, when Cal Raleigh crushed a pair of homers upon transitioning his rehab assignment to Triple-A Tacoma. But on the big league front, they were still navigating a few key injuries on their season-high

By most measures, the season is still young. Some alternate identities have yet to be donned, All-Star Futures Game rosters have yet to be announced and there's a whole second half of the Minors campaign. Even with so much left in the balance, it might already be time to ask:

The Northwest League’s leader in batting average has shown no signs of slowing down. Felnin Celesten, the Mariners' No. 7 prospect, clobbered his first professional grand slam on Wednesday, powering High-A Everett to a 5-3 win over Eugene at Everett Memorial Stadium. A switch-hitting shortstop, Celesten was batting righty when

Michael Arroyo looks like a totally different hitter since coming off the injured list. The Mariners’ No. 5 prospect missed a week and a half with a hamstring issue in mid-May, before returning to the Double-A Arkansas lineup on May 26. Arroyo took his momentum to a new level Wednesday

At 6-feet-5 and 210 pounds, Lazaro Montes probably personifies a prototypical power hitter. And he's been playing that part to perfection. Seattle's No. 4 prospect slugged a pair of solo homers -- giving him three in his past four games -- to propel Double-A Arkansas past Corpus Christi, 9-8, in

With his biggest supporter in the stands, Ryan Sloan delivered a performance worthy of the moment and easily the best of his professional career. In many ways, it was ... a perfect performance. As his mother Amanda cheered him on, Seattle's No. 3 prospect recorded a career-high 11 strikeouts and

With each zero on the scoreboard and each K added to his ledger, Kade Anderson serves notice that he isn't just one of the best pitching prospects in baseball, he might soon be called the best. Seattle's No. 2 prospect was brilliant yet again, striking out nine across 5 1/3
