Henry Kaczmar, the Ohio State shortstop who went undrafted, is signing with the Seattle Mariners — a team with a surprising affinity for Walsh Jesuit talent. Kaczmar joins a growing roster of Jesuit alumni, including cousin Mason Eckelman (recently drafted) and current Mariners slugger Dominic Canzone. Despite skipping the draft, Kaczmar’s solid college stats — including a .316 average and All-Big Ten honors — prove his potential. His move to Seattle highlights how high school connections and standout programs can still carve paths to the pros, even without a draft pick.

Randy Arozarena’s All-Star Game return is a milestone moment — he’s the Mariners’ lone representative and on track for his third career nod, fueled by a breakout season hitting .286 with power and patience. He’s embracing the spotlight not as a spotlight, but as a learning opportunity, hoping to ignite his team’s second-half surge. His game has evolved by trusting the coaching staff’s advice to focus on contact over homers, and he’s confident the Mariners, just a game and a half behind the Rangers, can repeat last year’s magic. Beyond stats, he’s proud to be part of a new wave of Cuban talent in MLB, cherishing the camaraderie and soaking in the All-Star magic before the real grind resumes.

Kyle Boylston, a two-sport standout from high school, flipped the script at Florida Atlantic University by focusing on baseball and now headlines as an undrafted free agent signed by the Seattle Mariners. A blazing outfielder who tied a school record for stolen bases in one game, he hit .289 with three homers and went 14-for-14 on steals last season. With natural athleticism and relentless work ethic, Boylston’s journey from football recruit to MLB hopeful proves dedication can carve a path—even without a draft pick. The Mariners see his potential to climb through their system, and fans are watching closely as he turns the diamond into his proving ground.

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.
