With the No. 15 pick in the MLB Draft, the Seattle Mariners have selected a pitcher with talents unlike anything we've ever seen.
The Seattle Mariners have selected Mississippi State Jurrangelo Cijntje with the No. 15 pick in the MLB Draft on Sunday night.
Evaluators say Cijntje has better stuff and projects as a Marcus Stroman-esque starter as a righty vs. profiling more as a reliever as a lefty. From the right side, he operates with a 94-96 mph fastball that tops out at 98 with carry up in the zone, and he backs it up with a mid-80s slider that reaches 91 with good depth and a slightly harder changeup with fade. As a southpaw, he works from a low slot with a sweepier low-80s breaking ball and a low-90s heater that doesn't miss many bats.
While some people will Cjintje as a novelty, there's no doubt that he's an excellent player. In 16 starts for the Bulldogs in 2024, he went 8-2 with a 3.67 ERA. He struck out 113 batters in 90.2 innings.
