Seattle Mariners select Mississippi State's Ace Reese in 2026 MLB Draft

The Seattle Mariners have selected Ace Reese from Mississippi State University with the No. 24 pick in the 2026 MLB Draft. Reese, a third baseman, was noted for his power-hitting, achieving back-to-back seasons with over 20 home runs. In 2026, he posted a career-high 24 homers and was named to the All-SEC first team twice. Despite his strong offensive performance, there are questions regarding his positional fit in the MLB, as he primarily played third base in college. His fielding percentage improved from.885 to.935 during his time at Mississippi State.
