The Seattle Mariners got great news on Saturday with regards to their farm system: They officially have another Top 100 prospect, per MLB.com.
were beaten on Saturday night by the Minnesota Twins at the major league level, but they did great news from the minor league ranks before that happened: The M's officially have another Top 100 prospect, according to MLB.com.
Shortstop prospect Felnin Celesten has become the latest M's prospect to join the Top 100 and he ironically replaces a former M's prospect:SS Felnin Celesten joins the Top 100 Prospects list upon Noelvi Marte's graduation.Celesten was already in the Top 100 prospects according to Baseball America, but it's always good to see universal approval of your farm system.
While the M's are built on pitching at the major league level, it's interesting to note that all of the M's Top 100 prospects are position players. Celesten joins infielders Cole Young and Colt Emerson, as well as outfielder Laz Montes and catcher Harry Ford, on this list. The 18-year-old Celesten is currently playing for the Arizona Complex League Mariners. He's hit .341 through 31 games this year. He's popped three homers and driven in 27 thus far.Signed for $4.7 million as the No. 2 prospect in MLB Pipeline’s international class for 2023, Celesten immediately ascended near the top of the organization’s rankings with perhaps as much upside as any position player in the system.
With the trade deadline coming at the end of July, Celesten will undoubtedly be a player that rival teams will want to acquire from Seattle. The M's will certainly do their best to try to hold onto him.
