## Resource

The Mariners’ draft strategy has completely shifted thanks to NIL—now college players are the real prize. With 19 of 20 picks coming from college, they wisely avoided high schoolers who’re now financially untouchable thanks to NIL deals, coaching, and exposure. Their scouting VP confirmed they’d rather save money and sign college talent below slot than gamble on high schoolers who’ll likely go back to school. And despite the change, their draft class is stacked with power, athleticism, and upside—Ace Reese, Jake Brown, Henry Ford, and Wyatt Queen prove they made smart, calculated bets on the new reality of baseball recruiting.
