Mariners selected Mississippi State 3B Ace Reese the No. 24 selection of the 2026 MLB Draft.
Reese has enormous power from the left side, and he was able to hit 24 homers in 2026 in 62 games after bashing 21 homers as a sophomore. The 21-year-old will chase despite drawing a decent amount of walks — those free passes were mostly due to fear, which is not an insult, just a reality — and there’s significant swing-and-miss. There’s also concern about his position, but even if he moves across the diamond to first, that power can play.
