Jonny Farmelo
Seattle Mariners outfielder Jonny Farmelo was assigned to the High-A Everett AquaSox on April 29th.
In his debut for the 2025 season and as an AquaSox, he played centerfield and hit in the lead-off spot.
Farmelo crushed a two-run homer off Cesar Perdomo at the top of the 5th to give the AquaSox a temporary 2-0 lead.
The home run marked Everett’s only runs of the game as the AquaSox fell to the Emeralds in walk-off fashion, 3-2, at PK Park.
Farmelo, a 20-year-old from Centreville, Virginia, was drafted with the No. 29 overall selection in the 2023 MLB Draft by the Mariners.
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 had yet to appear in a game this season. His assignment to Everett came as a promotion, having yet to appear in a game above the Single-A level of professional baseball.
He 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 swiped 18 bags. Top performances included a four-hit, three-double performance on May 24, 2024, against the Rancho Cucamonga Quakes, and four games where Farmelo tallied three base hits.
With Farmelo’s assignment to the AquaSox, Everett’s roster now contains 5 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 5 players are also all ranked within the Top 100 prospects in all of baseball per MLB Pipeline.
