Seattle Mariners Middle Infielder Prospect Cole Young on Incredible Streak

The Seattle Mariners farm system is arguably the best in baseball. The organization has nine prospects in Baseball America's top 100 and seven in MLB Pipeline's.

The Mariners have seen their top 100 minor leaguers excel so far this season. And one of their longest-tenured elite prospects in the organization is on an amazing streak.

Cole Young (No. 46 MLB Pipeline, No. 52 Baseball America), is on a 15-game on-base streak. During that stretch, Young is hitting .268 (15-for-56) with three doubles, a triple and five RBIs with the Triple-A Tacoma Rainiers.

Cole goes the other way and we are tied!

The 21 year-old and 2022 first-round draft pick is hitting .225 this season (16-for-71) with three doubles, a triple and five RBIs. All but one of his hits have come during his on-base streak.

Young competed in the 2024 MLB All-Star Futures game. This season is his first with the Tacoma. Last year with the Double-A Arkansas Travelers, Young hit .271 with nine homes, 57 RBIs and 23 steals.

Young is considered the future for Seattle at second base. He had the opportunity to compete for the open major league second base job in spring training this year. A sore arm arm limited him to a designated hitter role. That job was eventually won by Ryan Bliss.

Reports have indicated that the Mariners won't call-up Young before they feel like he's ready. But if he continues at his current trajectory and his on-base streak continues, he might make join former Rainiers teammate Ben Williamson on the major league roster sooner rather than later.

Young is projected to be called up this season by MLB Pipeline.
