Colt Emerson

19-Year-Old ShortstopSS
Seattle Mariners A+
2024 Fantasy Outlook
The Mariners snagged three seven-figure prep hitters in the first 30 picks of the 2023 MLB Draft, and Emerson got the biggest bonus ($3.8 million) and was first off the board at No. 22 overall. A lefty-hitting shortstop, Emerson has already gained good weight since the end of his high school season, up to 6-foot-2 and around 200 pounds. He slashed .374/.496/.550 with two home runs, 10 doubles and eight steals on eight attempts in 24 games across the Arizona Complex League and the Cal League. Emerson has been billed as hit-over-power, and indeed, he had a 17.5 K% and a 14.9 BB% in his pro debut, so the hit tool easily projects as plus. Defensively, he can play shortstop but may move to third base as needed. He isn't a plus runner, but has excellent instincts and gets the most out of his physical tools. Emerson could reach the majors sometime in 2025. Read Past Outlooks
