Mariners' No. 1 prospect wasted no time putting his stamp on Double-A
Seattle Mariners v Chicago Cubs | John E. Moore III/GettyImagesThe Seattle Mariners just promoted Colt Emerson from High-A Everett to Double-A Arkansas over the weekend. It's a big step up, so nobody would have blamed him if he had needed time to adjust.
Instead, he showed exactly why he is the Mariners' No. 1 prospect in his Travelers debut on Tuesday.
The 20-year-old shortstop went 1-for-4 with a double in Arkansas' 3-0 win over the Frisco RoughRiders at Dickey-Stephens Park. He also made a dazzling defensive play in the field, moving deep into the hole to his right and falling to his knees to field a ground ball, yet somehow still getting the out at first base.
