Seattle Mariners AA
2024 Fantasy Outlook
Young's extremely impressive plate discipline metrics in the lower levels of the minors have made him overrated in some dynasty circles. The lefty-hitting infielder has never struck out more than 16.5 percent of the time and last year he walked over 14 percent of the time at Single-A and High-A. He had a pull rate over 41 percent and a groundball rate under 45 percent at both stops and still only managed 11 home runs in 126 games because he has fringe-average raw power. He stole 22 bases on 32 attempts (68.8% success rate) and only gets average run grades from scouts, so we can't assume he'll regularly steal double-digit bases in the majors. Young is trending toward being a worse version of Bryson Stott in fantasy (worse home park, less speed). He'll head to Double-A for his age-20 season and projects as Seattle's second baseman of the future. Read Past Outlooks
