After suffering a non-contact knee injury on Tuesday, the Seattle Mariners are reportedly worried about top prospect Jonny Farmelo.
Update on Jonny Farmelo, the Mariners' No. 6 prospect by @MILBPipeline: He was at T-Mobile Park last night on crutches after suffering a non-contact right knee injury on Tuesday at Single-A Modesto.: He was at T-Mobile Park last night on crutches after suffering a non-contact right knee injury on Tuesday at Single-A Modesto.It's a troubling situation for multiple reasons. 1) You just feel bad for Farmelo, who is 19 years old and hitting .264 this year for Single-A Modesto.
Second off, with the trade deadline approaching, you have to wonder if this impacts Farmelo's tradeability or desirability for other teams. There's no guarantee that the M's want to trade Farmelo, but if the injury is serious, it could be one less trade piece for the organization as we approach July.Farmelo quickly drew attention for his plus-plus speed that's already been touted among the best in the organization.
That said, his hitting profile is still very raw, with a swing that looks comparable to a pickle-ball serve that at times can be rigid and limit him from making adjustments throughout an at-bat. There are plenty of paths that the Mariners can take to hone him in this regard because the bat speed from the left side has 20-homer potential.
The Mariners are 41-31 on the season and they lead the American League West by 6.5 games over the Rangers. They'll play the Rangers again on Saturday at 4:15 p.m. PT.
