The Seattle Mariners' first-round pick Jurrangelo Cijntje and second-round pick Ryan Sloan were both in Seattle on Tuesday to sign their contracts and tour the city and took some time to speak with media.
SEATTLE — It's been a tough last few days for the Seattle Mariners. The losses have piled up. Starting players have been hurt, a former All-Star was designated for assignment and four players were called up from Triple-A Tacoma on Monday and Tuesday.
Cijntje, who's quadlingual and was born in the Netherlands but grew up in Curaçao, had never been in the Pacific Northwest. He got to experience it with Sloan, who was in awe of his soon-to-be teammate's ability to pitch with both hands. Sloan, listed at 6-foot-4 and 205 pounds at 18 years old, has a fastball that clocked in the upper 90s and with a mid-80s slider and an upper-80s changeup, according to Baseball America. Being that young with that kind of capability, there is no shortage of current hurlers to choose from and shape his game after. But he's more concerned with taking a little bit from everybody.
