The Seattle Mariners have made a big move in the MLB offseason by selecting outfielder Zach DeLoach for their 40-man roster. DeLoach was selected in the second round of the 2020 MLB Draft and has been one of the most impressive prospects in the Mariners’ farm system.
DeLoach is a left-handed hitter who can play all three outfield positions. He is known for his power and speed, and he has the potential to be an impact player at the major league level. He has a career batting average of .311 in the minor leagues, with an OPS of .867. He also has a good eye at the plate, walking more than he strikes out.
In addition to his offensive skills, DeLoach is an excellent defender. He has great range and a strong arm, which allows him to make plays that other outfielders can’t. He also has the ability to play all three outfield positions, which gives the Mariners some flexibility in their lineup.
DeLoach is expected to compete for a spot on the Mariners’ Opening Day roster this season. If he can continue to develop and show that he can handle major league pitching, he could be a key contributor for the Mariners in 2021 and beyond.
The selection of DeLoach is a great move by the Mariners and shows that they are committed to building a competitive team for the future. With DeLoach in the mix, the Mariners have added another talented young player to their roster and are positioning themselves to be contenders in the American League West for years to come.
