The Mariners' climb up from the bottom of Baseball America's overall farm system rankings was steady if not supersonic, taking almost four years to reach the highest possible point.
The culmination of that ascension came in mid-August of 2021 when they were named the No. 1 spot farm system when the longtime publication released midseason organizational rankings of Major League Baseball's 30 teams.
On Wednesday, Baseball America released its 2022 preseason organizational rankings with Mariners remaining as the No. 1 farm system in terms of elite prospect talent and overall depth.
