Cole Young Launches Fifth Home Run
1 year agoSeattle Mariners shortstop prospect Cole Young produced his fifth home run of the campaign on Wednesday. The 2022 first-round draft pick is now slashing .269/.402/.431 with 16 stolen bases through 75 games in Single-A Modesto this season, building off the .960 OPS he posted in 10 appearances with Modesto last season. At only 19 years old, Young is the second-ranked prospect in the Mariners' system, per MLB Pipeline. He projects to be two or three years away from breaking through to the majors, though a 60-grade hit tool and lacking middle infield depth at the major-league level could land him a debut sooner than expected. There's nothing actionable for fantasy managers now, but Young could eventually find himself on a fast track, especially if his power output continues to progress.
