After initially falling out of the Baseball America Top 100 prospect rankings, Seattle Mariners catching prospect Harry Ford is back in the Top 100 on Tuesday.

The publication has ranked him as the No. 100 prospect, but they curiously listed him as both a catcher and an outfielder.

We've got THREE new additions to the Top 100 👀

98. Mick Abel, RHP - Phillies
99. Logan Henderson, RHP - Brewers
100. Harry Ford, C/OF - Mariners

Colt Emerson (No. 14), Cole Young (No. 37), Jonny Farmelo (No. 52), Lazaro Montes (No. 53), Michael Arroyo (No. 64), Ryan Sloan (No. 73), Felnin Celesten (No. 74), Jurrangelo Cijntje (No. 82), and Ford give the M's a whopping nine prospects in the BA Top 100, and those same nine are also in the MLB Pipeline Top 100.

Ford, 22, was a first-round pick of the Mariners in 2021 and is knocking on the door of a big-league promotion, though there are questions about where he'll play given the presence of Cal Raleigh. He's hitting .315 at Triple-A Tacoma with eight homers, 38 RBIs and three stolen bases. He's also scored 38 runs. If the Mariners were to promote him, they could use him at backup catcher and designated hitter, but they still have Mitch Garver on the roster, further complicating things.

At the big-league level, the Mariners are now 36-35 and in second place in the American League West. They are 4.5 games back of the Houston Astros, and also trail the Red Sox by 0.5 games for the third and final wild card spot.

The M's will be back in action on Tuesday night when they host the Red Sox at 6:40 p.m. PT.
