Back to EpisodesColt Emerson: Mariners' Top Prospect
Description
Colt Emerson, a shortstop for the Seattle Mariners, has rapidly ascended the prospect ranks, currently ranking sixth on ESPNs top one hundred prospects list. Initially seen as an advanced hitter with pop and athleticism, scouts questioned his ability to stick at shortstop, leading to his selection as the twenty-second pick in the 2023 MLB Draft. However, Emerson has proven to be a steal for Seattle, showcasing better exit velocities and plate approach than expected. He quickly climbed the minor league ladder, reaching Triple-A by the end of the 2025 season, and has the potential to hit around twenty home runs a year, with strong contact and on-base skills, speed, and average defense. While J.P. Crawford currently holds down shortstop for the Mariners, fans eagerly await Emersons arrival, expecting plenty of hype for this exciting young talent. Checkout Solipillow.com
