The 25-year-old Labrada was signed as an international free agent out of Cuba on Jan. 22, 2021. He was promoted to Arkansas on June 25, 2024, and helped the club to a Texas League championship.
Labrada has scored 21 runs this season and has hit seven doubles, one triple, three homers, 13 RBIs and has stolen 12 bases in 26 games. He's slashing .279/.411/.488 and has an .899 on-base percentage.
Labrada's speed has been his biggest calling card since signing with Seattle. In four seasons in the Mariners farm system, he's stolen 140 bases in 406 games. Consistency at the plate has been the biggest struggle for Labrada with the organization. Last season, he struck out 101 times and drew just 43 walks. This year, he's struck out 22 times and has drawn 18 walks.
If he can keep that walk-to-strikeout ratio where it is and consistently make contact, Labrada will be a Mariners prospect to watch.
