Ohio Valley native drafted in first round; Mariners take high-risk prospects; cancer survivor announces Mariners' pick

The Seattle Mariners selected Colt Emerson, a Shortstop/third baseman from John Glenn High School in Ohio, with the 22nd overall pick in the Major League Baseball draft. Emerson, ranked as the 29th prospect, is known for his advanced hitting skills and is expected to hit 20 or more homers per season. While he is currently a steady defender at shortstop, he may move to a different position in professional baseball. Emerson is the first Ohio high school position player to be drafted in the top three rounds since 2007.
