Impact Young, the fourth-youngest qualified hitter at Double-A, could be passable at shortstop or quite good at second base for the Mariners in a couple years. He has a very advanced knowledge of the strike zone and logged an impressive 81.4 percent contact rate, but he doesn't hit the ball hard very often (22.0 Hard%) and projects to offer modest power, especially if he calls T-Mobile Park home. If everything works out, the lefty-hitting Young could produce similarly to guys like Brice Turang and Bryson Stott.
