Colt Emerson's Historic HR, Mariners' Roster Bubble

0:00On March 28th, Seattle Mariners' top prospect, Cote Emerson, grab headlines, Friday by smashing a home run in his very first at-bat of the Triple-A season with its Akuma Rainiers. At just 20 years and 250 days old, he's the only Rainier and at least 20 years to pull that off before turning 21. Joining Rare Company like Jackson Holiday and Luis Garcia Jr. since 2005. The number 9 prospect in baseball for MLB Pipeline, Emerson was a first-round pick in 2023 out of an Ohio High School, where he hit 285 last year, across three minor league levels. Mariners' president of baseball operations Jerry DePoto noted on Seattle Sports 710 that Emerson was on the roster bubble this spring, and A. Longer injury to shortstop JP Crawford might have gotten him to the majors right away. Expect that call-up soon as the Mariners chase another American league-west crown, especially with Emerson's smooth lefty swing already showing, serious power potential in Tacoma.
