3 glaring Mariners omissions from ESPN's top 50 MLB player rankings

ESPN recently released its ranking of the top 50 players in the MLB right now, and among them were three Seattle Mariners: Cal Raleigh at No. 4, Julio Rodríguez at No. 22, and Eugenio Suarez at No. 37.

That's an impressive group for the Mariners, but do they deserve to have more players in the top 50? Here are three glaring omissions who should also be considered among the best players in the game.

These 3 Mariners deserve to be counted as top-50 players

1. Bryan Woo, RHP

Woo continues to fly under the radar as one of the best pitchers in baseball. He's gone at least six innings in all 24 of his starts this season, and has a 3.02 ERA.

His ERA is 16th in the league and his WHIP ranks 7th in the MLB. He leads all of baseball with 18 quality starts, and his 3.3 bWAR ranks 20th among pitchers. He's clearly one of the 20 best pitchers in baseball right now, which should at least earn consideration for the top 50.

2. Randy Arozarena, LF

Arozarena has slowed down since his heater in July, but the All-Star outfielder has still been one of the most valuable players in the league this year. His 3.9 bWAR ranks 27th among position players, and he has an outside chance at a 30-30 season.

Notably, his bWAR is considerably higher than Suarez's (2.7 bWAR), which is not everything, but it goes to show how valuable he's been this year.

3. Andrés Muñoz, RHP

ESPN left off relief pitchers from their top 50 ranking, but if they did include even one reliever, there's a real argument that Munoz should be the one.

In 48 innings, he has a 1.31 ERA and 0.979 WHIP. He's been worth 2.5 bWAR, made back-to-back All-Star games, and been incredibly consistent in his career. He holds a career ERA of 2.39 in 245 innings.
