The Seattle Mariners Have the No. 3 Pick in MLB Draft: Here's Every Player Ever Taken No. 3

The Seattle Mariners will have a big chance on Sunday to add to their bevy of organizational talent.

The M's have the No.

3 pick in the MLB Draft, which begins Sunday night.

They also have two picks inside the top 35.

With nine MLB Top 100 prospects already under their belt, Seattle can add to that list in a big way.

They've been linked to several players at the No.

3 spot, including LSU pitcher Kade Anderson, Florida State pitcher Jamie Arnold, and Oregon State shortstop Aiva Arquette.

Just what should the M's expect their top selection to turn into? Well, here's a look at every player ever taken at the No.

3 spot: BOLD = Hall of Famer, picks via Baseball Almanac As you can see, the No.

3 pick in the draft hasn't exactly yielded stellar results, but the M's will try to buck that historic trend.

However, two Hall of Famers (Yount, Molitor) did emerge out of that draft spot, and several players over the last decade have been solid successes.

The Mariners themselves have had the No.

3 pick four previous times, to middling results, taking Salkeld, Cruz Jr., Clement, and Zunino.

Cruz Jr.

looked like a solid player, but the M's traded him in his rookie 1997 season to the Toronto Blue Jays.

The MLB Draft begins at 3 p.m.

PT on Sunday and rounds 1-3 will happen at that time.

Rounds 4-20 will take place on Monday beginning at 8:30 a.m.

PT.

The Home Run Derby will take center stage at night.
