Examining the Mariners Rankings in MLB The Show 22

Every year, Franchise is kind of placed on the back burner. Not as many users care about it, and the majority of the focus from the development team is placed on Diamond Dynasty. It’s where the money gets spent, so it’s where the focus gets placed. You see it with Ultimate Team in Madden, and the Franchise mode there has become nearly unplayable due to the massive lack of updates.

MLB The Show 22 is better, but they could definitely put a lot more work into the player ratings. Check out some of these, and you can see what I mean. Most years, prospects get fixed after some updates, but the beginning is usually tragic.

• Robbie Ray – 87
• Marco Gonzales – 79
• Chris Flexen – 78
• Logan Gilbert – 80
• Drew Steckenrider – 78
• Casey Sadler – 76
• Paul Sewald – 80
• Diego Castillo – 81
• Anthony Misiewicz – 70
• Luis Torrens – 67
• Ty France – 77
• Adam Frazier – 81
• Abraham Toro – 72
• JP Crawford – 76
• Eugenio Suarez – 80
• Kyle Lewis – 75
• Jarred Kelenic – 61
• Mitch Haniger – 81
• Jesse Winker – 83
• Dylan Moore – 81
• Cal Raleigh – 70
• Tom Murphy – 80
• Julio Rodriguez – 63
• Justus Sheffield – 72
• Noelvi Marte – 72
• George Kirby – 63
• Emerson Hancock – 67
• Harry Ford – 71
• Levi Stoudt – 64
• Matt Brash – 66
• Alberto Rodriguez – 68

Nailed it!

Harry Ford at 71 and Noelci at 72 are spot on. Haniger at 81, Marco at 79, and Toro at 72 are spot on also. The bullpen is pretty accurate also, although Sewald should probably be a bit higher.

What were they thinking?

Again, prospects are a joke. Hancock is the Mariners top prospect and ranked 24th. Why in the world is Julio a 63? Im assuming that an update will come out soon, and he will jump to 99. Just kidding. He should likely be in the mid-high 70s though.

WALKING CABRERA IS RANKED HIGHER THAN JULIO! It’s like they don’t care. Some of the other things that stand out are Tom Murphy at 80 and Dylan Moore at 81. Also Ty France at 77. Come on now. Dylan Moore hardly belongs on a roster, and Ty France is one of the best hitters in baseball.
