Jurrangelo Cijntje wants to keep his options open with the Seattle organization as a pitcher who switches between throwing right-handed and left-handed. Cijntje was the 15th overall pick by the Mariners in Major League Baseball’s amateur draft out of Mississippi State.
Jurrangelo Cijntje is interviewed after being selected 15th overall by the Seattle Mariners in the first round of the MLB baseball draft in Fort Worth, Texas, Sunday, July 14, 2024.
According to his MLB.com draft profile, Cijntje was a natural left-hander who started throwing righty as a 6-year-old to mimic his father, Mechangelo, a former pro baseball player in the Netherlands. Scouts also believe Cijntje’s future might be as a right-hander, which is why going against the percentages by pitching right-handed against lefties more often this season was notable.
