Seattle Mariners infield prospect Colt Emerson has earned a promotion to Double-A Arkansas after a strong showing at High-A Everett to begin the year. The Mariners' top-ranked prospect was slashing .277/.385/.451 with 11 home runs, six steals, and nearly as many walks (53) as strikeouts (68) over 89 games. His last 12 games were especially strong, going 16-for-44 (.364) with four doubles, three home runs, and an 8:8 BB:K. With one of the best hit tools in the minor leagues, expect the 20-year-old to push for at-bats at Triple-A next year and potentially make his big league debut. With solid pop and speed to go along with his hit tool, he should be scooped up if not already stashed away in dynasty formats.

However, before the slump, Emerson carried a strong .370/.426/.648 slash line with three long balls over his last 14 games. Through 78 total games with High-A Everett this season, the 20-year-old has carried a .268/.373/.433 slash line with 12 doubles, nine home runs, and six stolen bases. Given his steady progression this season, Emerson could make his Double-A debut in the coming weeks.

Last summer, Emerson earned a taste of High-A but posted a much lower .225/.331/.317 line over his first 29 games at the level. Young is currently considered the No. 19-ranked prospect in baseball. If he continues to turn the corner, he could earn a look at Double-A later in the second half.

Seattle Mariners infield prospect Colt Emerson went 1-for-5 with a home run during their contest against High-A Tri-City. Over his last five games, Emerson has begun to heat up at the plate. Over this stretch, he has posted a .300/.364/.600 line with a double, triple, and a home run. Prior to this recent surge, Emerson held a modest .200/.297/.271 line with just 17 total hits over his last 21 contests. His home run on Tuesday was also his first round-tripper since May 18. Through 53 games with High-A this season, Emerson has struggled at times, holding a .244/.341/.378 line with five doubles and five home runs. Given his lack of consistent success at High-A this season, fantasy managers should expect the No. 19-ranked prospect in the sport to spend most of the season at this level. If he continues to turn the corner, he could earn a late-season taste of Double-A.

This is an excellent sign as the former 22nd overall pick from the 2023 MLB Draft held a modest .225/.331/.317 slash line across his first taste of High-A action during the 2024 campaign. Given his steady progression, fantasy managers should expect the No. 19-ranked prospect in the sport on MLB.com to push for his Double-A debut in the coming months.

Seattle Mariners shortstop prospect Colt Emerson went 2-for-4 with his first home run of the High-A regular season. Emerson has had a modest start to the campaign, holding a .258/.365/.371 slash line. However, Emerson has now tallied a hit in each of his previous two games and appears to be turning the corner on his slow start. Emerson is considered the top prospect in the Seattle system on MLB Pipeline and the No. 19 in the sport. Last summer, the former 19th overall pick spent most of his time with Low-A Modesto before moving up to High-A. At Low-A, Emerson was very productive as he posted a .293/.440/.427 slash line with 12 doubles and two home runs. Fantasy managers should expect Emerson to spend most of the campaign with High-A.
