Player Outlook
A Grade 2 hamstring strain suffered in June prevented Felnin Celesten from making his official pro debut in 2023, although he recovered in time to play in the fall instructional league. Known for his loud tools and athleticism, Celesten was arguably the top overall player to sign in the 2023 Jan. 15 international signing class, garnering a $4.7 million bonus out of the Dominican Republic. Given the missed time, we won't have any clarity on the quality of his hit tool until he plays in the Arizona Complex League this summer as an 18-year-old. The 6-foot-2, 175-pound shortstop has plus speed and projects for plus raw power, with his hit tool lagging behind. He should be able to stick at shortstop, so if he hits, he'll quickly establish himself as one of the more exciting teenage prospects in the game, but it's possible he will strike out enough to be droppable in some formats.

  • Mariners' Felnin Celesten: Exceeding high expectations

    Rotowire
    Celesten is hitting .452 with two home runs, one steal, and more walks (six) than strikeouts (five) through eight games in the Arizona Complex League. The top international signee in the 2023 J-15 class, Celesten was unable to play in official games last year due to a Grade 2 hamstring strain, but he's at the age-appropriate level for his pro debut and appears to have been worth the wait. A physical, athletic shortstop with loud tools, Celesten looks the part of a future top-10 prospect, and so far his hit tool has been better than advertised.

  • Mariners' Felnin Celesten: Close to game action

    Rotowire
    Celesten (hamstring) is nearing a return to game action in a "bridge league" between the Arizona Complex League and instructional league, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports. Celesten has been sidelined since June due to a Grade 2 hamstring strain. Any at-bats the young shortstop can fit in before the end of the year would certainly be an added bonus, although the stats in the bridge league won't be officially tracked.

  • Mariners' Felnin Celesten: Out with hamstring strain

    Rotowire
    Celestin suffered a Grade 2 hamstring strain during an intersquad game Thursday and will be out for 6-to-8 weeks, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports. Celestin is considered one of the top young prospects in the Seattle system, and he was handed a $4.7 million signing bonus in the winter of 2023. The 17-year-old shortstop offers significant fantasy upside, but he's not expected to make an impact on an MLB roster until the latter part of the decade.
