After just seeing Jonny Farmelo enter the Baseball America Top 100 prospect list, the M's have just added a sixth player into the Top 100, giving them one of the deepest farm systems in baseball.
https://baseballamerica.com/rankings/2024-top-100-prospects/The six Mariners on the list are Locklear, Farmelo, Cole Young, Colt Emerson, Harry Ford and Laz Montes. The M's had four players on the MLB Top 100 prospect list, so the organization clearly is well thought of by multiple publications.
The 23-year-old Locklear is currently in Double-A with Arkansas and was taken by the M's in the second round of the 2022 draft out of VCU. Through his minor league career, Locklear is a .287 hitter with 25 homers over two-plus seasons. This season at Double-A he's hitting .287 with a .403 on-base percentage. He has five homers and 21 RBI thus far.The right-handed hitter’s carrying tool is still his tremendous raw power, though he’s not a one-trick pony. He can hit the ball out to all fields and does a nice job of managing the strike zone, limiting strikeouts and drawing walks, giving him a chance to be a solid overall hitter.
Locklear saw time at both infield corners at VCU and spent most of his pro debut playing third base, where his strong arm plays well. He lacks the range to stay there and played first exclusively in 2023, including the AFL, and is a capable enough defender there. It’s his bat that should get him to the big leagues quickly.
