Your 2024 Mariners Right Fielder is…
John: Julio Rodriguez – For anyone paying any attention at all to the Olympics, this guy needs no introduction. Julio Rodriguez is a flat-out beast. He’s got a big arm, massive power, and has slightly above-average speed. The expectation around the league is that this guy is going to be a star – it’s simply a matter of when. He’ll stay in right field, where he’s most comfortable, and will be a part of likely one of the best outfield trios in the league.
Chris: Julio Rodriguez – He could be the power answer for the Mariners. He’s already up to AA ball and might be up in the majors sooner in 2022 than people realize if he plays his way into it. He, possibly more than any other prospect, has the potential to be a HOFer. 280+ average and 40+ bombs? That’s a rare combo.
Connor: Julio Rodriguez – J-Rod will be the next All-Star right fielder in Seattle, and hopefully a perennial one. The #5 overall prospect in baseball, he has the makings of a star and will be far too electric of a player to consistently slot in at DH.
Jamey: Julio Rodriguez – This one seems to be a slam dunk. Rodriguez has hit at every single level he’s been at, with both power and contact. He’s one of the best prospects in baseball, and quite frankly it would be a pretty big surprise if he didn’t become a superstar. He’s also the type of personality and character that Seattle fans can fall in love. He’s not just a possible superstar, he’s a possible face of the franchise.
