2025 Fantasy Outlook
Barring a surprise offseason move, Emerson has a real chance to be the Mariners' starting third baseman as early as Opening Day. He has always been young for his levels while projecting for at least above-average power and with at least above-average hitting ability. His run in the second half of 2025 was perhaps his most impressive stretch to date, slashing .307/.405/.515 with nine home runs, nine steals (on 11 attempts), an 11.3 percent walk rate and a 17.5 percent strikeout rate in 59 games across High-A, Double-A and Triple-A. He wasn't at Triple-A long (just six games), but Emerson logged a 64.7 HardHit%, 35.3 percent line-drive rate and 174 wRC+. The lefty-hitting Emerson doesn't turn 21 until after the All-Star break, so while he isn't an elite athlete, he's a legitimate hitting phenom and could end up with a plus hit tool and plus power. A shortstop by trade, Emerson will add third base eligibility shortly after his big-league debut, which is a nice bonus. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a $3.8 million contract with the Mariners in July of 2023.
Will compete for Opening Day spot
The Mariners are expected to give Emerson "runway" to win an Opening Day roster spot, Adam Jude of the Seattle Times reports.
Analysis
Most of Emerson's playing time in the minors has come at shortstop, but he's also played some second base and third base. With Eugenio Suarez entering free agency, the hot corner appears the most likely path for Emerson, who is expected to compete with Ben Williamson for the starting job. Emerson is just 20 and has only six games of experience at Triple-A Tacoma, but Jude notes that the Mariners considered putting Emerson on their playoff roster taxi squad. The left-handed hitter slashed .285/.383/.458 with 16 home runs and 14 stolen bases over 130 games across three levels in the minors in 2025.

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.
