Congratulations are in order for Seattle Mariners' prospects Cole Young and Harry Ford, who were named as the organization's Co-Hitters of the month for May.

The Mariners' Player Development account posted the news on "X." Both Young and Ford spent the majority of May with the Triple-A Tacoma Rainiers, though Young was promoted to the big-league club over the weekend.

Young hit .366 for the month with 37 hits, 10 doubles, five home runs, 21 RBIs and 16 walks. Ford hit .411 with 37 hits, six doubles, five homers, 20 RBIs and 11 walks. Both players are top 100 prospects in the sport with Young checking in at No. 43 and Ford at No. 66, via MLB Pipeline. All told, the Mariners have nine players in the top 100 as Jurrangelo Cijntje, Ryan Sloan, Lazaro Montes, Colt Emerson, Jonny Farmelo and Michael Arroyo join them on the list.

Young recorded one hit in his first two games with the M's, and he also registered a game-winning walk-off fielders choice against the Minnesota Twins on Saturday.

Ford is expected to make his major league debut at some point this season. Both players are former first-round picks, with Ford getting selected in 2021 and Young in 2022.

The Mariners will be back in action on Tuesday night when they start a new series at T-Mobile Park against the Baltimore Orioles. First pitch is set for 6:40 p.m. PT as George Kirby gets the start against Tomoyuki Sugano.

Kirby is 0-2 since coming off the injured list. The Mariners are 32-26.
