Marvin Arnold+FollowMariners hit the JACKPOT with Kade Anderson at #3!The Mariners just pulled off highway robbery in the MLB Draft. LSU lefty Kade Anderson was ranked #2 overall going into Sunday and somehow fell right into their lap at pick #3. This kid just dominated the College World Series, went 12-1 with 180 strikeouts, and led LSU to a national championship as the tournament MVP. Seattle’s front office is calling this their “best-case scenario” because Anderson was literally #1 on their draft board. The guy has a four-pitch mix, advanced pitchability, and scouts are comparing his development path to Paul Skenes who went from college to the majors in under a year. This feels like the kind of pick that changes a franchise’s trajectory. #Mariners #MLBDraft #KadeAnderson #LSU652Share

With the draft coming up, Cooper’s just taking it day by day, trusting whatever comes next. No matter where he ends up, he’s carrying his Allatoona roots (and his dad’s legacy) with him. Can’t wait to see where he lands! #Education #K12 #MLBDraft00Share
jillian59+FollowWill Kade Anderson Go No. 1? Draft Drama!All eyes are on LSU’s ace, Kade Anderson, as the MLB Draft approaches. Will the Nationals make him their top pick, or will they shake things up and go with high school phenom Ethan Holliday? Either way, Anderson’s rise from a so-so freshman to CWS MVP has Tiger fans buzzing. If he goes No. 1, that’s back-to-back LSU pitchers at the top—just like Skenes in ‘23. Rivalry brewing between college stars and high school standouts! Who do you want your team to take? #Sports #Baseball #MLBDraft00Share
