The pitcher-friendly home park at Arkansas can be blamed somewhat for Cole Young's career-worst .119 ISO, but there's no denying he's a hit-over-power prospect. He slashed .271/.369/.390 with nine home runs and 23 steals in 124 games. Young, the fourth-youngest qualified hitter at Double-A in 2024, could be passable at shortstop or quite good at second base for the Mariners as early as this summer. He has a very advanced knowledge of the strike zone and logged an impressive 81.4 percent contact rate, but he doesn't hit the ball hard very often (22.0 percent hard-hit rate) and projects to offer modest power, especially if he calls T-Mobile Park home. If everything works out, the lefty-hitting Young could produce similarly to guys like Brice Turang and Bryson Stott in a couple years.

  • Mariners' Cole Young: Moves past arm issue

    Young (arm) will be available off the bench for Wednesday's Cactus League game against the Athletics, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports. According to Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times, Young had been limited in some workouts in the first couple weeks of spring training due to a sore right arm, but he's already appeared in three Cactus League contests, going 2-for-6 with a run scored. He's yet to serve as anything more than a designated hitter in those games, but his ability to play suggests that he's not in any real danger of missing the start of the minor-league season.

  • Mariners' Cole Young: Steady at Double-A

    Young is slashing .271/.369/.390 with nine home runs, 23 steals and a 15.8 percent strikeout rate in 124 games for Double-A Arkansas. Young, the fourth-youngest qualified hitter at Double-A, could be passable at shortstop or quite good at second base for the Mariners in a couple years. He has a very advanced knowledge of the strike zone and logged an impressive 81.4 percent contact rate, but he doesn't hit the ball hard very often (22.0 percent hard-hit rate) and projects to offer modest power, especially if he calls T-Mobile Park home.

  • Mariners' Cole Young: On track at Single-A

    Young is slashing .267/.396/.429 with five home runs, 17 steals and more walks (54) than strikeouts (52) through 78 games for Single-A Modesto. Young, who turns 20 at the end of July, has made 69 starts at shortstop and eight starts at the keystone in his first full season in pro ball. He also saw brief action at second base last year in addition to his shortstop duties. Young's hit tool has been as advertised. He is using the whole field (36.3 Oppo%) and has limited the groundballs (42.1 percent) while also being a bit unlucky (.303 BABIP) on balls in play.
