Day Two of the MLB draft marches on after an hour-long break. If you missed any of the Mariners’ previous picks, check out our handy-dandy draft headquarters for a draft tracker and links to analysis.

Round Eleven: RHP Dusty Revis, Western Carolina

Revis, a 6’2 200 lb starter for the Catamounts this season, worked to a 4.04 ERA on the season and primarily employs a fastball-slider combination that emphasizes ground balls over strikeouts. He’s a good mover on the mound and can get his fastball up into the mid 90’s with regularity. He logged a healthy 82.1 innings as a starter this season and could serve as a multi-inning option given his frame and experience, however the stuff seems as though it would play up in shorter stints, making him an attractive bullpen option. Revis will turn 22 later this month and could be logging innings in Modesto or the ACL relatively soon after signing.

Round Twelve: C Grant Jay, Dallas Baptist

Grant Jay is an incredibly toolsy catcher that enter the year on many T100 prospect radars as DBU’s primary catcher, but he slipped in the draft due to contact ability concerns and fell to the twelfth round. A force at the plate, Jay has tremendous power in his bat and managed to club 19 homers on the season across 59 games played. The physical Jay is a great athlete as well, showing some speed on the bases. There is some swing and miss concern in his profile and he’s never going to be a high-average hitter, however with his solid command of the zone, lightning fast hands, and loud tools all over the diamond, this is a bet you take ten times out of ten. To see him available in the twelfth is surprising considering his production (Three straight seasons with an OPS north of 1.000) and abundance of tools.

For those curious, he was a T200 prospect in this class by most outlets. A very nice player to grab this late.

Round Thirteen: OF Aiden Taurek, Saint Mary’s College

Currently a member of the Portland Pickles, Taurek is a corner outfielder with solid bat to ball skills in a sturdy 5’11 200lb frame. There’s not an overwhelming amount of power in his bat, but he should have enough to make it work at a corner outfield spot and has some sneaky heavy hands that can impact the baseball to all fields. With a smooth swing that’s quick to the baseball, Taurek walked as much as he struck out this season for the Gaels and could be a compelling OBP option for the Nuts as soon as he signs. It doesn’t appear as though there’s a ton of athleticism or loud tools in this profile, but there’s some solid skills here that should give him a chance to produce as a professional.

Round Fourteen: C Luke Heyman, Florida

The Mariners’ third catcher of the draft, and their second named Luke, Heyman is another talented backstop that slipped a bit in this draft despite the public consensus and a selection to All-SEC First Team. The hulking 6’4 catcher has tremendous pop from the right side and employs a wide stance at the plate that gets into his lower half extremely well. Posting a 38/22 K/BB ratio this season and a sub-20% K rate, there’s reason to believe his below average hit tool could improve alongside his swing decisions and make him some sort of a TTO catcher with his excellent exit velo’s, but the primary concern here is definitely the contact ability. He’s got a good arm and could stick behind the plate as he’s made strides defensively during his time in Gainesville, however he’ll need to continue improving in that respect to keep his big frame behind the dish. Perhaps the Mariners know a large-framed catcher with big time power that happens to be familiar with the Florida college catching ranks.

Round Fifteen: OF Brayden Corn, Western Carolina

The Mariners go back to Western Carolina for another Catamount, which is apparently what we around here call cougars. Corn was named to the Southern Conference All-Tournament Team after a blistering performance in the tournament where he went 7-for-13 with three homers. Manning center field for the Catamounts all season, Corn swiped 19 bags on the season to only three caught stealing. The bat doesn’t look to be a carrying tool in his profile and is probably a tick below average, however if he’s able to stick up the middle and be a nuisance on the basepaths, he could be a solid depth piece for the organization.
