* Third-round pick forfeited for signing left-handed pitcher Robbie Ray

Round 1, Pick No. 21: SS Cole Young, North Allegheny (PA)

MLB Pipeline rank: 20 | Prospects Live rank: 47

Young is a well-rounded player both at the plate and on the diamond, carrying an above-average glove that should stick at shortstop and a left-handed bat that has very few holes in it. Power is unlikely to be a large part of his game, but he uses all parts of the field well, posts high contact rates and consistently drives the ball with authority. Young impressively controls the zone, resulting in low whiff rates and high walk outputs, so it's no wonder as to why Seattle gravitated towards him. On top of that, he's an above-average runner who should be able to swipe some bags and leg out the extra base at the professional level. Some liken him to current Mariners second baseman Adam Frazier. 

Round 2, Pick No. 58: 1B/3B Tyler Locklear, VCU

MLB Pipeline rank: 98 | Prospects Live rank: 82

Locklear is coming off a spectacular season at the plate for VCU, slashing .402/.542/.799 with nearly twice as many walks (47) as strikeouts (25). Paired with his elite zone management is one of the loudest right-handed power profiles in this year's draft class, which helped him club 20 home runs and 78 RBI this spring. The bat will have to live up to its billing in order for Locklear to carve out a path to the bigs; he manned third base in college, but first base/designated hitter is likely in his future. 

Competitive Balance Round B, Pick No. 74: RHP/3B Walter Ford, Pace (FL)

MLB Pipeline rank: 53 | Prospects Live rank: 50

Taking their first pitcher of the draft, the Mariners land one of the best remaining prep prospects on the board. Ford is just 17 years old and is already touching mid-to-upper 90s on the radar gun with a devastating breaking ball. Many believe the velocity will significantly tick up even more, with consistent triple digits a real possibility in the future. Ford, who's committed to Alabama, is still working on a reliable tertiary option and does have a changeup he mixes in, though it's a fringe offering at best right now. He's also a power-hitting third baseman and reports indicate there's real offensive upside in his bat, but his focus will likely fully shift to pitching as a professional. 

Round 4, Pick No. 126: RHP Ashton Izzi, Oswego (IL)

MLB Pipeline rank: 120 | Prospects Live rank: 151

Another prep arm who's touched 97 MPH on the radar gun, Izzi has a lot of physical projection left at 6-foot-3, 165 pounds. His slider has the potential to be an above-average or better offering and started trending up this spring, though the changeup he currently features is still lagging behind. Nevertheless, there's plenty to be excited about here. 

Round 5, Pick No. 156: LHP Reid VanScoter, Coastal Carolina

MLB Pipeline rank: N/A | Prospects Live rank: N/A

Round 6, Pick No. 186: SS Josh Hood, North Carolina State

MLB Pipeline rank: 224 | Prospects Live rank: 280

Round 7, Pick No. 216: 2B Hogan Windish, UNC Greensboro

MLB Pipeline rank: N/A | Prospects Live rank: N/A

Round 8, Pick No. 246: C Tatem Levins, Pittsburgh

MLB Pipeline rank: N/A | Prospects Live rank: 329

Round 9, Pick No. 276: RHP Tyler Gough, Jserra Catholic (CA)

MLB Pipeline rank: 211 | Prospects Live rank: 497

Round 10, Pick No. 306: OF Bill Knight, Mercer

MLB Pipeline rank: N/A | Prospects Live rank: N/A

Round 11, Pick No. 336: RHP Marcelo Perez, TCU

MLB Pipeline rank: N/A | Prospects Live rank: N/A

Round 12, Pick No. 366: RHP Troy Taylor, UC Irvine

Round 18, Pick No. 546: LHP Brandon Schaeffer, North Carolina

MLB Pipeline rank: N/A | Prospects Live rank: 409
