Team: Mariners Ht./Wt: 6-5/215 B/T: R/R Age: 31 Record/ERA: 12-4/3.72 Grading out: 040 scale Overall: 60-plus Curve: 65 Splitter: 55 Two-seamer: 50 Four-seamer: 55

Skill set: Sele has very good in-out, up-down command. He has a low arm slot, and his arm action is very fluid. He's a natural curveballer. His pickoff move is below average. He has a settled aggressiveness, with the calmness and self-confidence of a great pitcher. Righthanded hitters can look for him to come high and inside on two-strike counts. He outguesses hitters, who sit on his curveball on two-strike counts--he is just as apt to throw a two-seamer or high four-seamer as a curve. He tends to overthrow the four-seamer, leaving the pitch up in the zone. He works quickly and has a high energy level. He also has an excellent feel for pitching; he gets ahead of hitters and sets them up.

Physical description: Loose body. Has a power pitcher's build.
