A Conversation with Dodgers' Prospect Marshall Kasowski

A Conversation with Dodgers' Prospect Marshall Kasowski

Thank you, Jerry, hi everybody and a very pleasant Saturday to you, wherever you may be. 

While you wait patiently for Opening Day, we have another in our Dodgers interview series (our 10th) for your consideration. From Camelback Ranchh SI's Steven Douglas chats with minor league right-hander Marshall Kasowski.

Kasowski, who'll be 25 on Tuesday, became Los Angeles property when he was taken in the 13th round of the 2017 MLB June Amateur Draft, out of West Texas A&M University. He's 6' 3" and 215 and has made his presence felt in big league exhibition action this spring. He's unscored upon in 5 1/3 innings of relief work, with four hits and three walks allowed, with seven strikeouts.

Making the usual stops at Great Lakes, Rancho Cucamonga and Tulsa, finding success at every level. Kasowski's three-year lifetime minor league stats are as follows: 7-5, 2.26 ERA, 1.116 WHIP, a whopping  177 strikeouts in 107 2/3  (14.8 SO9) with seven saves over 79 games, all but six of them in relief. Remember that name: Marshall Kasowski. 

Can't get enough Dodgers material? You've come to the right place. You might start by meeting the other players in our interview series: Tony Gonsolin, Braydon Fisher, Steve Garvey, Josiah Gray, Rob Hill, Gavin Lux, Connor McGuinnes, Ryan Pepiot and Jordan Sheffield.

Or try our 2020 Dodgers player projections series: Cody Bellinger, Kiké Hernandez, Clayton Kershaw, Joc Pederson, Will Smith and Justin Turner.

And our prospect watch series: Omar Estevez, Zach McKinstry, Cristian Santana and Miguel Vargas. And our little ditty series, set to music: Willie Davis, Kershaw, Max Muncy and Yasiel Puig. More to come during the spring and through the regular season.

And remember, glove conquers all.
