Colt Emerson Fantasy Stats

Seattle Mariners third baseman Colt Emerson made his MLB debut less than two weeks ago, and he has already emerged as a must-add player on the fantasy baseball waiver wire. Through 10 games, he is slashing .258/.361/.516 with one home run, one triple, three doubles, an 11% walk rate, a 22% strikeout rate, and 152 wRC+. He has reached base in four consecutive contests, and during that span, he's hitting 6-for-14 with four extra-base hits and a pair of walks. He hasn't given us a ton of home run power yet, but the extra-base hits are quite impressive, and we're encouraged that he can sustain his .877 OPS going forward. There are still plenty of opportunities for him to get scooped up in fantasy baseball, as he's available in 82% of leagues at the moment. Managers should prioritize adding him from the waiver wire.

Seattle Mariners shortstop/third baseman Colt Emerson went 1-for-3 in Friday's 2-0 win over the Kansas City Royals, raising his average from .091 to .143 on the season. The Mariners top prospect was hitless in his previous six at-bats before hitting a single during the top of the fifth inning. Overall, Emerson has struggled since his promotion to the big leagues on May 17, slashing .143/.294/.357 with a home run, three RBI, and two runs scored across five games. He is hitting in the bottom of the order and continues to handle third base for the Mariners while Brendan Donovan (groin) is on the injured list with a left groin muscle strain. Emerson is an above-average hitter and slashed .307/.405/.515 with nine home runs, nine steals (on 11 attempts), and an 11.3% walk rate in High-A, Double-A, and Triple-A last season. The 22-year-old also hit seven home runs and stole 10 bases in just 38 games in Triple-A Tacoma before getting the call to the show in May. Despite struggling early on in the majors, Emerson remains a must-add in all leagues due to his incredible upside and is only rostered in 23% of Yahoo Fantasy leagues.

Seattle Mariners shortstop/third baseman Colt Emerson only needed two career games to make an impact as he hit his first MLB homer on Monday night in his team's 6-1 win over the White Sox. Emerson went 1-for-4 with the eighth-inning three-run blast. He started each of the last two games at the hot corner for the Mariners, who are set to give him a long look at that spot with Brendan Donovan (groin) on the injured list. Emerson is just 20 years old but hit .255 with seven homers and 10 stolen bases in his 38 games in Triple-A before his promotion. He is a top-10 prospect in all of baseball (according to MLB.com) and looks ready to make an immediate impact. In mixed leagues, he's a nice grab if still available, although there isn't a clear spot for him when Donovan returns. Emerson has a solid plate approach, but he did have a 27.2% K% in Triple-A. He has the tools to be a great fantasy contributor if he keeps his strikeouts under control and climbs to a more prominent spot in Seattle's batting order.

Seattle Mariners infield prospect Colt Emerson was recently promoted to the MLB roster ahead of Sunday night's contest and is set to become the primary third baseman with Brendan Donovan on the shelf. In his MLB debut on Sunday night, Emerson was placed in the nine-hole and scored one run and drew a walk while going 0-for-2 at the dish. Emerson was in contention to break camp with the MLB roster but was instead optioned to the top club in the Seattle system to put the finishing touches on his development. Through his first 38 games with Tacoma this summer, Emerson has posted a strong .255/.347/.469 slash line with eight doubles, seven home runs, and 10 stolen bases. However, since the start of May, Emerson has seen his production soar, posting a .288 AVG and .840 OPS. While it may take the team's No. 1-ranked prospect time to adjust to MLB pitching, he should be given nearly an everyday role, which makes him a priority target in all standard leagues ahead of Week 8, given his five-category skill set.

According to Ryan Divish, the Seattle Mariners are set to promote top infield prospect Colt Emerson to the major leagues. Emerson is currently MLB.com's No. 7 overall prospect and the team's No. 1-ranked prospect. Emerson joined the Mariners with the 22nd overall pick in the 2023 MLB draft and is set to make his MLB debut in the immediate future. Emerson has enjoyed a strong start to the Triple-A campaign, which prompted the early promotion. Through his first 38 games with Tacoma this summer, Emerson has posted a strong .255/.347/.469 slash line with eight doubles, seven home runs, and 10 stolen bases. Since May 1, Emerson has seen his production take a slight uptick, posting a .288 AVG and .840 OPS. Fantasy managers should pay close attention to his usage, as he could become the primary third baseman in the short term, as Brendan Donovan has been dealing with a lingering injury. Given his five-category skill set, he should be considered a must-add across all formats. UPDATE: According to president of baseball operations Justin Hollander, Emerson will be the team's primary third baseman.

Seattle Mariners infield prospect Colt Emerson stayed hot on Wednesday, clubbing his seventh home run of the season and collecting four RBI in a 2-for-5 day at the plate. The Mariners' top-ranked prospect is slashing .300/.333/.520 in 11 games in May, and owns a .257/.342/.478 slash line for the season with seven home runs and nine steals through 35 games at Triple-A Tacoma. The former first-rounder has the makings of a potential five-category producer for fantasy, and despite being just 20 years old, appears likely to be the next highly-rated MLB prospect (MLB No. 6 overall) to make his major league debut this season. With no current holes on the major league roster, a promotion is not imminent, but it could happen before the end of the month or shortly thereafter, so fantasy managers looking for a fantasy-friendly infield bat should consider Emerson as one of the top hitters to stash ahead of his eventual call-up.

Seattle Mariners infield prospect Colt Emerson remains an elite option to stash among hitting prospects ahead of Week 7 of the fantasy baseball season. The team's top hitting prospect has continued to swing a hot bat at the Triple-A level and is inching closer toward his eventual MLB debut. Over his last 13 games with Triple-A Tacoma, the former 22nd overall selection in the 2023 MLB Draft has posted an elite .273/.328/.545 line with a double, four home runs, and two stolen bases. Overall, the 20-year-old has enjoyed a stellar start to the Triple-A regular season, holding a .254/.338/.475 slash line with seven doubles, six home runs, and eight stolen bases. Even though there is no clear opening for Emerson on the MLB roster, he remains an elite stash option given his five-category upside.

Seattle Mariners shortstop prospect Colt Emerson went 3-for-5 with two singles, one home run, and three RBI during a Triple-A game on Wednesday. It's been a relatively modest year at the plate for Emerson, who is slashing .241/.336/.463 with five homers, seven steals, and a 100 wRC+. Still, he represents the future in Seattle, especially after signing an eight-year extension earlier this spring. Because of that enormous contractual commitment, the Mariners may feel incentivized to call him up for his MLB debut sooner rather than later. Even though the numbers at the plate haven't been amazing, his performance on Wednesday -- coupled with above-average defense all year long -- could be enough to move the needle within the Mariners' front office. J.P. Crawford has shortstop locked down, but Emerson could presumably play a healthy dose of games at second or third base in the majors. Because he's getting closer to his MLB debut, managers should strongly consider stashing Emerson in fantasy baseball.

Seattle Mariners shortstop prospect Colt Emerson continues to find success at the top level of the Seattle system and remains a high-end hitting prospect to stash in all formats. Over the last seven games at Triple-A Tacoma, Emerson has gone deep twice while swiping one bag with a 12:5 K:BB. Overall, the team's No. 1-ranked prospect has held a .234/.342/.547 slash line with seven doubles, four home runs, and seven stolen bases. Last summer, the former 22nd-overall selection spent time in the lower levels of the Seattle system and remains just one step away from joining the MLB roster. Even though there is no clear spot on the MLB roster for Emerson, as Cole Young has held his own at the keystone and veteran J.P. Crawford remains the primary shortstop, Emerson remains the top candidate to earn the call following a major injury.

Seattle Mariners infield prospect Colt Emerson (wrist) returned to the lineup at Triple-A Tacoma last week after sitting out a few games with a minor wrist injury. In the five games since his return, the Mariners' top-ranked prospect has struggled to get back into a rhythm at the plate, going 3-for-20 (.150) over that span, though two of his hits went for extra bases (one double, one home run) and he drew five walks as well (20.0 percent BB%). For the season, the former first-round draft pick is hitting just .232, but has recorded a solid .351 on-base percentage thanks to a 13.3 percent walk rate, and is slugging .427. With seven steals already through 23 games, the left-handed slugger has the look of a potential multi-category contributor for fantasy. Though he's just 20 years old, MLB's No. 7 prospect overall could be in the majors within weeks, so fantasy managers in deeper leagues should consider stashing him ahead of time.
