Yorger Bautista showed off his power and lived up to his nickname in the Mariners' prospect showcase against the Milwaukee Brewers

The Seattle Mariners farm system has long been considered one of the best in baseball. Several of the best prospects within the Mariners' minor league ranks got to showcase their abilities in the team's Spring Breakout game against the Milwaukee Brewers on Friday at American Family Fields in Maryvale, Ariz. Seattle's prospects fell 7-3 to Milwaukee's but several of the M's hopefuls, many of whom were top 100 prospects (per MLB Pipeline ), had highlight performances.

A prospect that hasn't quite reached top 100 status was among the highlight performers for the Mariners. Outfielder Yorger Bautista was in Seattle's starting lineup as a designated hitter. He finished the game 2-for-3 with an RBI and scored a run.
