Seattle Mariners

Seattle Mariners rookie Cole Young officially made some unique history on Thursday night as the M’s downed the Texas Rangers 6-0 at T-Mobile Park. Cole Young’s 5th inning home run last night, which was initially measured at 470 feet but later updated to 456 feet, is the longest home run by a rookie batter at @TMobilePark in the Statcast Era (2015-c). Young, 22, a first-round pick of the Mariners in 2021, made his major league debut on May 31. Prior to his graduation from the list, Young was ranked as Top 100 prospect by both Baseball America and MLB Pipeline.
