The Biggest Winners and Losers from Day 1 of 2023 MLB Draft | News, Scores, Highlights, Stats, and Rumors

By all rights, Sunday should have been an exciting day for Seattle Mariners fans. Theirs was the only team with four picks on Day 1 of the draft, much less three within the top 30.

But with the dust having cleared, here we are looking at MLB.com's draft prospects rankings and wondering if the Mariners committed not one, not two, not three, but four reaches.

They started by taking high schoolers Colt Emerson (No. 29), Jonny Farmelo (No. 39) and Tai Peete (No. 53) with the 22nd, 29th and 30th picks. When it came time to pick again at No. 57, they went off the board to draft Ben Williamson out of William & Mary. He doesn't appear in the aforementioned rankings, but he does in Baseball America's...at No. 243.
