Marlins Youngster Named A Part Of The Ten Best Player Matchups At Spring Breakout
The Miami Marlins will take on the St. Louis Cardinals in the MLB's Spring Breakout.
On Friday, Miami will put some of their top prospects on the field to see how they perform with a bright spotlight. With the younger Marlins getting some action, there's a chance to see some heat from the mound.
Miami's top prospect, pitcher Noble Meyer, was named as the ninth-best matchup happening this weekend during Spring Breakout by MLB.com. They paired him up with the Cardinals' top prospect Masyn Winn.
"On Friday, it’s the arm just getting going against a more advanced bat," Sam Dykstra wrote. "Meyer was the top prep arm selected last year when he went 10th overall to Miami, and he’ll bring a 94-97 mph fastball and high-spin slider to the table against the Marlins’ cross-facility rivals. That said, he needs his best stuff against Winn, who got 122 at-bats in the Majors last season. The St. Louis shortstop is expected to win the Opening Day job, thanks in part to his impressive defense and rocket arm, but he might have a little extra motivation to blow away the prospect competition after the club’s recent signing of Brandon Crawford."
After being drafted by the Marlins with the 10th overall pick in the 2023 MLB Draft, Meyer played in five games last season at the minor league level. He went 0-1 with a 4.09 ERA, pitched 11 innings, struck out 15 batters, and walked seven.
