Scout’s note
Emerson, a 2023 first-round pick out of Zanesville, OH, has 7 homers and a .816 OPS in 38 games for the Tacoma Rainiers this year; he debuted in the majors on 2026-05-17. He's in our Index — tracked, not flagged. The boards bet on mispricing, and right now his account with reality is square.
