It’s that time of year again! January 15th marks the opening day of international free agency in the MLB, and this year’s crop of young Mariners features some supremely exciting teenagers teeming with talent. As we get more and more names coming in throughout the day, we’ll try to update this list with as much information as we can find about the player.
Yorger Bautista
A centerfielder out of Guárico, Venezuela, Yorger “La Bestia” (The Beast) Bautista is a dynamic talent that is considered the top talent in the Seattle 2025 class. Featuring an aggressive lefty swing that’s catered to drive the ball in the air, Bautista possesses tremendous power for a 17 year old and should comfortably grade out with at least plus power when it’s all said and done.
