MLB: Mariners, with the best farm system for the first time in 37 years, according to Baseball America

With a potential star at the top in the Dominican outfielder Julio Rodriguez, the Seattle Mariners have the No. 1 farm system in Baseball America. That’s a sea change from Seattle State’s minor league pipeline four years ago, when its agricultural system ranked last in baseball.

Of course, the talent in the Mariners organization extends beyond Rodriguez, with five prospects in the Top 100, including four in the top 50 and three among the top 25 prospects in the game:

The BA Organizational Talent Rankings, which began in 1984, assess each organization’s farming system as a whole. Among other clubs, the Boston Red Sox is 11th and the New York Yankees are 13th.

These rankings emphasize the top prospects who generate the most value for their clubs while combining the depth of prospects within each organization. BA has already been doing these things for 37 years.

I am a fan of the King of Sports, especially the Boston Red Sox in MLB and all Mexican baseball in general. This profession has given me the opportunity to cover major events such as the Caribbean Series, LMB All Star, LMP (uninterruptedly since 2009), signatures of important players. I had the chance to attend the 2013 World Classic in Arizona, USA, although as a fan. Apart from this beautiful sport, I love basketball, where I have also narrated games and even an NBA friendly 10 years ago, but I have baseball in my veins. Degree in Communication Sciences from the Autonomous University of Sinaloa (UAS) , from which I graduated in 2011. I was born in Mazatlán, Sinaloa and started in the world of sports journalism in 2004 in the newspaper El Sol de Mazatlán, where I was a baseball columnist and a reporter at the same time. In January 2009 I arrived at El Debate as a journalist reporter and it was almost six years (in the first stage), until in November 2014 I emigrated to the radio providing my services at Línea Directa-Grupo RSN. My cycle there ended in July 2019 and a few days later, El Debate gave me another opportunity to work and opened the doors for me again. That is how I came to Al Bat, where I have been since 2019 as a web journalist.
