Martin County West graduate Brandon Williamson has been assigned to the High-A Everett AquaSox to start the season.
Everett opens its season Tuesday at Hillsboro, Ore.
Williamson, who was selected by the Seattle Mariners in the second round of the 2019 Major League Baseball draft out of Texas Christian University, pitched in Everett in 2019. He attended NIACC prior to TCU.
He did not pitch in 2020 due to the cancellation of the minor league season, but was in the Mariners' 60-man player pool in Tacoma throughout the 2020 regular season.
With the AquaSox in 2019, he had an earned-run average of 2.35 in 10 appearances. In 15 and one-third innings, he allowed six runs (four earned) on nine hits, walked five, hit one batter and struck out 25.
