Boyhood Dreams Come True: Mariners' Young & Naylor

0:00It's April 29th, you're listening to MLB News today, AI-powered baseball coverage. I'm Corey with the story. Mariners crushed the twins 7-1 at Target Field Tuesday night, and it was Cole Young and Josh Naylor dropping the game, sealing blows in a full circle moment. Young smacked an opposite field RBI single in the 7th to grab the lead for Seattle's first edge in the series, then Naylor crushed a 3-run. Homer in the 8th with a bat flip that lit up the crowd. Both dudes swung lefty from a box they knew way back since they first tasted this field as kids during all-star events. Young was here for the pitch, hit and run contest right before turning 11, while 17-year-old Naylor competed in the MLB Junior Home Run. Derby early signs they become beasts at the plate. Fast forward, Naylor went 12th overall to the Marlins in the 2015 draft, bounced through San Diego Cleveland and now Seattle. Young got picked 21st by the Mariners in 2022 and hit the majors last May 31st.
