Seattle Mariners Select Florida Outfielder Hayden Yost in Fifth Round of MLB Draft

The Seattle Mariners have identified Hayden Yost as a prospect to add to their system, selecting the Florida outfielder in the fifth round of the 2026 Major League Baseball Draft. Yost's selection comes after a notable increase in his offensive production during the latter part of his collegiate season, which appears to have elevated his standing among draft evaluators.

This selection marks a significant step for Yost, as he transitions from collegiate play to professional baseball. The Mariners organization will now look to develop his skills, particularly his power-hitting capabilities that gained attention towards the end of his junior year.
