Anderson allowed two runs in an inning-plus of work in his professional debut with three strikeouts. He'll look to build off that performance as he remains one of the top pitching prospects in baseball.

Mariners VP of amateur scouting Scott Hunter said that first-rounder Kade Anderson won't pitch again this year due to his high volume at LSU.

Anderson recently got done helping lead LSU to winning the College World Series where he was named the Most Outstanding Player. The left-hander is expected to move quickly in the Mariners system. "I don't know if it's next year or 2027 but he'll be ready to help us out up here in Seattle," Hunter said. Anderson profiles as a high floor starter with the ceiling to be an ace.

The Seattle Mariners have selected left-hander Kade Anderson with the No. 3 overall pick in the 2025 MLB Draft.

Fantasy Impact

Anderson, a 21-year-old left-handed pitcher, is coming off a dominant performance in the College World Series, where he helped lead LSU to a national championship and was named Most Outstanding Player. He allowed just one run over 16 innings in two starts, including a 1-0 shutout in the opening game of the final series against Coastal Carolina. Over two seasons at LSU, he posted a 3.38 ERA and 1.05 WHIP across 37 appearances, including 28 starts.
