The Seattle Mariners will have a hard act to follow in the 2026 MLB Draft. Their 2025 draft class was blessed before it even started to come together with Kade Anderson as the No. 3 pick. Since then, their selection of picks has only looked better and better.

All the same, Mariners fans have every right to maintain high hopes for the 2026 draft. Whatever weaknesses the franchise has had under Jerry Dipoto, drafting and developing talent is not among them.

Ahead is a full preview for the Mariners' 2026 draft, complete with their specific selections, their bonus pool, and hints of what can be expected. The draft will take place on July 11 and 12.

Where the Mariners will be picking in the 2026 MLB Draft

Because the Mariners made the playoffs in 2025, they were not involved in the lottery after they beat the odds to secure the No. 3 pick in last year's draft. They instead have these picks:

  • First Round: No. 24
  • Second Round: No. 65
  • Third Round: No. 101
  • Fourth Round: No. 129
  • Fifth Round: No. 162
  • Sixth Round and After: No. 27 pick per round

The No. 24 pick is not a prestigious selection, nor does it come with an encouraging history. Players picked at that spot have reached the majors only 60 percent of the time. Among those who actually signed, the best player to come out of the No. 24 spot was Rondell White, a one-time All-Star who amassed 28.2 rWAR over a 15-year career.

Still, past doesn't need to be prologue. The Los Angeles Angels once drafted Mike Trout at No. 25 overall, and he turned out alright.

Bonus pool and potential picks for the Mariners at No. 24

The Mariners have $8,218,200 in their bonus pool for this year's draft. It's a significant downgrade from last year, when their draft bonus pool contained $17,074,400.

The No. 24 pick comes with a slot value of $3,818,700, but the Mariners don't necessarily need to abide by that. They might reach for a player at that spot and save money for picks after the first round, which is notably how they got Ryan Sloan to sign in 2024.

As for which players could be available for Seattle at No. 24, here's a round-up of the latest mock drafts, with ranks according to MLB Pipeline:

Aiden Robbins is in the middle of a huge season, with his first 52 games yielding a 1.111 OPS and 19 home runs. He would join an impressive contingent of position player prospects in Seattle's minor league system, led by Lazaro Montes, Michael Arroyo, Jonny Farmelo and the ascendant Felnin Celesten.

Pitchers like Hunter Dietz, Logan Reddemann and Tegan Kuhns could be the way to go, however. The Mariners' current contention window is open largely because of homegrown arms, and Anderson, Sloan and Mason Peters are still on the way. From 30,000 feet up, though, the pitching pipeline is not as well supplied as the hitting pipeline at the moment.

Obviously, a lot can and will change in these last few weeks before the draft. Yet even if the pieces haven't started moving yet, the board for the 2026 MLB Draft is set.
