Ashton Izzi Included in Josh Naylor Deal
The Seattle Mariners traded pitching prospects Ashton Izzi and Brandyn Garcia to the Arizona Diamondbacks in exchange for first baseman Josh Naylor. The right-hander has started 12 games at High-A this year and has struggled a bit with a 5.51 ERA, 1.56 WHIP, with a better 15.2 percent strikeout-minus walk-rate in 47.1 innings. The 21-year-old had better surface-level results at Low-A in 2024 with a 2.85 ERA. Izzi owns a wide five-pitch mix with a four-seam, sinker, slider, sweeper, and changeup. He's able to get great extension down the mound at 7 feet with a 5.8' release height. The slider is his best chase and whiff pitch, and his strike-throwing will be an area to watch for his development.
