SEATTLE -- Seattle Mariners Director of International Scouting Frankie Thon Jr. today announced the following international signings:
• Jose Corniell, RHP, Dominican Republic
• George Feliz, CF, Dominican Republic
• German Guilarte, C, Venezuela
• Andres Mesa, INF, Dominican Republic
• Carlos Jimenez, CF, Dominican Republic
• Pedro Lemos Da Costa, RHP, Brazil
• Emmanuel Marcano, RHP, Venezuela
• Adrian Quintana, RHP, Dominican Republic
• Edryn Rodriguez, INF, Dominican Republic
• Yoander Rojas, C, Venezuela
• Axel Sanchez, INF, Dominican Republic
• Luis Suisbel, INF, Venezuela
“This is a promising group of young players that includes multiple legitimate plus athletes who play premium positions up the middle of the field, as well as a couple of arms who have a chance to make a real impact in our organization,” Thon Jr. said. “We’re really looking forward to seeing how our Player Development and High Performance departments mold these players into the best version of themselves.
“But what’s most impressive to me, and what’s really exciting in terms of where we’re headed as both a department and organization, is that we’ve truly incorporated multiple departments (International Scouting, Amateur Scouting, Analytics, Player Development and High Performance) in order to make more informed decisions within a high-risk environment.
“It’s a neat reflection of the trust and collaboration that’s happening within our Mariners ‘walls,’” Thon Jr. concluded.
