One current Seattle Mariners prospect who will be a future Silver Slugger winner

Zachary Rymer argues that Seattle Mariners prospect Ace Reese has the offensive potential to become a future Silver Slugger winner. Reese was selected by Seattle with the No. 24 pick in the July draft out of Mississippi State. During his professional debut, the 21-year-old posted a 1.197 OPS with 11 extra-base hits across 21 games with Single-A Inland Empire.

Rymer compares Reese's trajectory to Nick Kurtz, projecting the left-handed hitter as an annual 30-homer threat in Major League Baseball. While defensive positioning questions remain regarding whether he sticks at third base, first base, or designated hitter, Rymer highlights Reese's pull-side power, walk rate, and ability to barrel baseballs.
