76. Mariners SS Colt Emerson | 19 | A+ | 2026
After the success of Cole Young, the Mariners went for a similar prospect at the 22 spot in the 2023 draft: Colt Emerson, a left-handed hitting middle infielder at 6’1” 195 lbs with excellent hands in the batter’s box. He came roaring out of the gate in his draft season but battled injury in 2024, missing two stretches and playing 70 games total, the final 29 coming at High-A, where Emerson was overmatched for the first time as a pro, slashing .225/.331/.317 with two home runs and nine stolen bases. If you’re looking at this ranking and thinking he’s way better than most guys you find in the sixth spot, you’re right. The Mariners have a handful of 50’s here; you could toggle them three-through-six to your specifications.
