Injuries have limited Felnin Celesten to 32 official games - all in 2024 in the Arizona Complex League - since he signed with Seattle as the top teenage international prospect on Jan. 15, 2023. The other top prospect from that class, Sebastian Walcott of the Rangers, hasn't had his career affected by injuries and just wrapped up a full year at High-A, which illustrates how much developmental time Celesten has missed. It was a serious hamstring strain that cost him the 2023 season and last year he had surgery on a broken hamate in early-August after suffering the injury late in the ACL season. Prior to the injury, Celesten slashed .352/.431/.568 with three home runs, five steals, a .432 BABIP, a 12.5 percent walk rate and a 19.4 percent strikeout rate. A premium athlete with a chance to stick at shortstop, Celesten showed when healthy that he still has a very high ceiling. This will be a big year for the 19-year-old switch hitter, as he'll be making his full-season debut while also attempting to hold up over a full baseball season for the first time. He has a wide range of outcomes from a dynasty value standpoint, as he isn't young enough to maintain his value amid struggles against Single-A pitching, but is talented enough to potentially climb to High-A, or even Double-A during the year.

  • Mariners' Felnin Celesten: Taking part in Spring Breakout game

    The Mariners list Celesten (wrist) on the roster for their March 14 Spring Breakout game against Guardians prospects. Celesten appears to be in good health entering the 2025 campaign after not playing for the Mariners' rookie-level Arizona Complex League from July 24 onward last season while recovering from a lingering hamate injury that he addressed with surgery. The 19-year-old infield prospect should be ready to debut with a full-season affiliate in 2025.

  • Mariners' Felnin Celesten: Exceeding high expectations

    Celesten is hitting .452 with two home runs, one steal, and more walks (six) than strikeouts (five) through eight games in the Arizona Complex League. The top international signee in the 2023 J-15 class, Celesten was unable to play in official games last year due to a Grade 2 hamstring strain, but he's at the age-appropriate level for his pro debut and appears to have been worth the wait. A physical, athletic shortstop with loud tools, Celesten looks the part of a future top-10 prospect, and so far his hit tool has been better than advertised.

  • Mariners' Felnin Celesten: Close to game action

    Celesten (hamstring) is nearing a return to game action in a "bridge league" between the Arizona Complex League and instructional league, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports. Celesten has been sidelined since June due to a Grade 2 hamstring strain. Any at-bats the young shortstop can fit in before the end of the year would certainly be an added bonus, although the stats in the bridge league won't be officially tracked.

  • Mariners' Felnin Celesten: Out with hamstring strain

    Celestin suffered a Grade 2 hamstring strain during an intersquad game Thursday and will be out for 6-to-8 weeks, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports. Celestin is considered one of the top young prospects in the Seattle system, and he was handed a $4.7 million signing bonus in the winter of 2023. The 17-year-old shortstop offers significant fantasy upside, but he's not expected to make an impact on an MLB roster until the latter part of the decade.
