Meet the 6 Rising Minor Leaguers Poised to Shake Up MLB This Summer—You Won’t Believe Who Made the List!
A stroke of lottery luck launched the Mariners all the way up to the No. 3 pick in the 2025 MLB Draft, despite their minuscule odds to land a top selection after an 85-win season. That shocking sequence put Seattle in a unique position as a contender picking an elite prospect near the top of the draft. The Mariners used that pick on Anderson, a left-hander from LSU who was widely regarded as the top pitcher in the class. He earned that distinction by thriving in the SEC and showcasing plus command of a four-pitch mix, with rare aptitude for an amateur arm. Less than a year later, Anderson has pitched himself into position to potentially contribute to the Mariners’ championship ambitions in his first full professional season.
