Organization Prospect Rankings

TRACK RECORD: Corniel, a product of the Marmolejos Baseball Academy in his native Dominican Republic, was one of the better pitchers in the 2019 class and signed with the Mariners for a $630,000 bonus on July 2.

SCOUTING REPORT: Corniel has a very physical, projectable build with long levers and uses an effortless, balanced delivery with control rather than one that's explosive and effortful. A strike-thrower, he shows the ability to move the ball around the zone. His fastball ticked up to the low 90s during early workouts at the Mariners' academy in the Dominican Republic. Corniel can spin his above-average curveball and should have a solid changeup in time, giving him a three-pitch mix with above-average feel to pitch.

THE FUTURE: Corniel won't turn 17 until June, so he likely won't get to the states for another year or two. He'll start his pro career in the Dominican Summer League in 2020.

Scouting Reports

TRACK RECORD: After signing with the Mariners for $620,000 in 2019, Corniell was slated to make his pro debut in the Dominican Summer League in 2020 before the minor league season was canceled by the coronavirus pandemic. After a visa-related delay, he made it to Arizona in time to pitch in two games during instructional league before heading back to the Dominican Republic. In December, the Mariners traded Corniell and a player to be named later to the Rangers for righthander Rafael Montero.

SCOUTING REPORT: Corniell has a tall, sturdy body that looks capable of eating innings as he matures. He pounds the bottom of the strike zone with a 90-93 mph fastball with natural sink. It projects as an above-average pitch and gets plenty of ground balls and soft contact. Corniell’s curveball and changeup both play up to average because of how well he commands them to both sides of the plate. He’s been toying with a slider in order to give himself a more complete repertoire. Corniell shows excellent poise, especially for a pitcher who won’t turn 18 until midway through 2021. He has a lot of projection remaining but shows the ingredients for plus control.

THE FUTURE: Corniell’s pitchability and command make him advanced for his age. He should make his pro debut in the Rookie-level Arizona League in 2021.
