EVERETT — The Everett AquaSox received a boost to their lineup on Tuesday with the addition of prized prospect Jonny Farmelo.
Seattle Mariners Executive Vice President & General Manager of Baseball Operations Justin Hollander announced Tuesday the promotion of outfielder Jonny Farmelo from Class-A Modesto to the High-A AquaSox.
Farmelo, drafted with the No. 29 overall selection in the 2023 MLB Draft by the Mariners, made an immediate impact in his first night with the Frogs.
The 20-year-old from Centreville, Virginia, homered in the fifth inning of Tuesday night’s 3-2 loss at Eugene, driving in both AquaSoxs runs. Hitting from the leadoff spot, Farmelo went 1-for-4 with a strikeout as the AquaSox mustered five hits and 12 strikeouts against the Emeralds.
Chosen directly out of high school, the left-handed hitting, right-handed throwing Farmelo currently stands as the No. 6 prospect in the Mariners organization and the No. 92 prospect in all of baseball as ranked by MLB Pipeline.
Rehabbing from a non-contact torn ACL in his right knee that kept him sidelined since June 11, 2024, Farmelo has yet to appear in a game this season. His assignment to Everett comes as a promotion, having yet to appear in a game above the Single-A level of professional baseball. The 6-foot-2, 205-pounder made his professional debut with the Single-A Modesto Nuts on April 5, 2024. Across 46 games played with Modesto, Farmelo hit .264, collecting 47 base hits, 10 doubles, three triples, and four home runs. He drove home 25 runners, drew 36 walks, and stole 18 bases. He got on base 39.8 percent of the time with an OPS of .819.
With Farmelo’s assignment to the AquaSox, Everett’s roster now contains five of the Mariners’ top 10 prospects. He joins infielder Colt Emerson (No. 1), outfielder Lazaro Montes (No. 2), infielder Michael Arroyo (No. 7), and pitcher Jurrangelo Cijntje (No. 9). The five players are also all ranked within the Top 100 prospects in all of baseball per MLB Pipeline.
The AquaSox will complete a six-game series with Eugene on Sunday before returning to Everett for a six-game slate against Tri-City starting on May 6.
