Will compete for Opening Day spot The Mariners are expected to give Emerson "runway" to win an Opening Day roster spot, Adam Jude of the Seattle Times reports.

Impact Most of Emerson's playing time in the minors has come at shortstop, but he's also played some second base and third base. With Eugenio Suarez entering free agency, it's at the hot corner where Emerson is expected to compete with Ben Williamson for the starting job. Emerson is just 20 and has only six games of experience at Triple-A Tacoma, but Jude notes that the Mariners considered putting Emerson on their playoff roster taxi squad. The left-handed hitter slashed .285/.383/.458 with 16 home runs and 14 stolen bases over 130 games across three levels in the minors in 2025.

Adjustments paying off Emerson is hitting .333 with three home runs, two steals and a 12:12 K:BB in his last 20 games for High-A Everett.

Impact Emerson is slashing .265/.365/.411 with seven home runs, five steals and a 17.5 percent strikeout rate in 71 games for the AquaSox, but he's been making adjustments at the plate to better incorporate his lower half to get to more power while also introducing a toe-tap. Emerson's 51.4 percent groundball rate on the year is still something to monitor, but his stock is trending back up after a lengthy stretch where he struggled to hit for power.

Receives spring training invite The Mariners have extended Emerson an invitation to big-league camp during spring training.

Impact Emerson isn't in the running for an Opening Day roster spot, as he's just 19 and yet to advance past A-ball, but the Mariners will reward their top prospect with a look-see in spring training. Seattle also invited fellow prospects Lazaro Montes, Cole Young, Harry Ford and Michael Arroyo to big-league camp.

JANUARY 30 • ROTOWIRE

Advances to High-A The Mariners promoted Emerson from Single-A Modesto to High-A Everett on Monday.

Impact A 6-foot-1, 195-pound shortstop, Emerson has quickly established himself as one of the top prospects in the Mariners farm system and one of the top infielders in the lower rungs of the minors since Seattle selected him with the No. 22 overall pick in the 2023 First-Year Player Draft. The 19-year-old pushed his way to Everett after slashing .293/.440/.427 with two home runs, six stolen bases and an 18.9 percent walk rate over his 193 plate appearances with Modesto.

AUGUST 5, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Back in action for Nuts Emerson (foot) is hitting .400 with three doubles and one steal in five games since being activated from the 7-day injured list with Single-A Modesto.

Impact Emerson was activated June 29 but has only played in five of the 11 games since then, although he has played in two of the last three. Perhaps his foot was still bothering him a little, or the Mariners just wanted to be very cautious. Emerson has a .300/.439/.444 slash line with two home runs, four steals and more walks (19) than strikeouts (16) in 24 games for Modesto.
