SEATTLE, WA: Seattle Mariners Executive Vice President & General Manager of Baseball Operations Justin Hollander announced today that catcher Harry Ford has been called up to the MLB, joining the Mariners’ active roster.
Ford, 22, will make his Major League debut when he first appears in a game. In 97 games with Triple-A Tacoma this season, he was batting .283 (106x374) with 68 runs, 18 doubles, 16 home runs, 74 RBI, 74 walks and 7 stolen bases, getting on base at a .408 clip, slugging .460 with an .868 OPS.
Ford is a consensus top-100 prospect in baseball, appearing in top 100 lists published by MLB Pipeline (No. 40), Baseball America (No. 76), FanGraphs (No. 67), ESPN (No. 65) and The Athletic (No. 79). Ford has appeared in each of the last 3 MLB Futures during All-Star Week.
He was selected by the Seattle Mariners in the 1st round (12th overall) of the 2021 MLB First-Year Player Draft out of North Cobb High School (Georgia).
The 22-year-old spent the entirety of the 2023 Minor League Baseball season with the High-A Everett AquaSox, leading his team to the Northwest League Championship Series. With the AquaSox, Ford hit .257 and recorded 24 doubles, four triples, 15 home runs, and 67 RBIs.
Ford also became a fan favorite during his AquaSox tenure, earning the Dan Wilson Community Service Award by participating in many community events. Appearances included youth camps hosted at Funko Field and Education Day at the Everett Children’s Museum. He also often made time for fans postgame, staying late to play games of catch and to sign autographs.
With Ford added to the roster, Seattle has its first round draft selection from five consecutive drafts, and former AquaSox, on the active roster: RHP Logan Gilbert (2018), RHP George Kirby (2019), RHP Emerson Hancock (2020), C Harry Ford (2021) and INF Cole Young (2022).
