What does a Major League scout actually look for when trying to find the next Seattle Mariner?
This week on Mariners Down Under, Nate is joined by Seattle Mariners scout Ty Holub for a fascinating look behind the curtain at the world of professional baseball scouting.
Ty takes us through how he became a scout, what his process looks like when evaluating players, how relationships are built long before draft day and why the Mariners place such a strong emphasis on finding not only talented players — but high-quality people.
We also dive into some of the players Ty has crossed paths with along the way, including the incredible story of scouting George Kirby at Elon before he became a cornerstone of the Mariners rotation.
Plus, we talk Grant Knipp, what stood out about him at Campbell and the upside Seattle saw in his game, as well as Australian Jarrod Belbin and his journey from Campbell into the Mariners organisation.
It’s a rare look at the people working behind the scenes to identify, understand and ultimately help build the future of the Seattle Mariners.
