James Paxton is just one of the many players currently excelling for the Mariners in the minor-leagues.

The Seattle Mariners are riding a hot streak that has seen them win four consecutive series, and push beyond the .500 mark. The M’s currently sit 0.5 games back of the Texas Rangers in the AL West.

Being that Seattle is so competitive right now, it’s unlikely they will be making any significant call-ups in the coming weeks. However, that’s not an excuse to ignore what’s happening down on the farm.

Thankfully, much like the big league club, the Mariners’ affiliates have found plenty of success during the first month of the season. Three out of the four M’s minor-league teams have winning records and are in first place in their respective divisions.

We will begin by discussing who is standing out on the Mariners’ Class-AAA affiliate in Tacoma.
