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

August 5, 2024
The Mariners promoted Emerson from Single-A Modesto to High-A Everett on Monday.
ANALYSIS
A 6-foot-1, 195-pound shortstop, Emerson has quickly established himself as one of the top prospects in the Mariners farm system and one of the top infielders in the lower rungs of the minors since Seattle selected him with the No. 22 overall pick in the 2023 First-Year Player Draft. The 19-year-old pushed his way to Everett after slashing .293/.440/.427 with two home runs, six stolen bases and an 18.9 percent walk rate over his 193 plate appearances with Modesto.
