5/20/15 - Shorter stocky strong durable catchers body. Good all around player. Good catch and throw skills with quick release and below avg arm. Can throw runners out. Good offensive player with surprising power for smaller guy. Good hand eye and good hitters hands. Hits the ball to all fields. Ran a 6.87 60. Great make up guy with take charge ability. Plays above his tools. Should be a draft.

4/1/15 - Mississippi St signee. Caught well tonight. Threw out the only attempted stealer with a (2.02) to second base. Was 1 for 3 with an infield single and a hard-hit line drive out to left field.

3/11/15 - Mississippi St commit. 5-foot-9, 185 pound catcher. Caught fine and showed an avg and accurate ML arm. Late blocking for balls that got away. Had a firm line drive single to left center field in his first at bat, then a K looking and flied out to left field.

2/24/15 - Mississippi St commit. 5-foot-9, 185 pound catcher who was 0 for 3 tonight with no hard contact. Was a little jumpy and restricted today at the plate.  Caught well, showed an avg ML arm. Picked a runner off first base. My opinion still hasn’t changed with this guy. He plays above his tools and should be a 2015 draft.

2/5/15 - Caught fine and really threw well.  Picked runners off 2B and 1B and nearly got another off 3B.  Consistently above avg arm strength with plus carry on the pick at 2B.  He’s a very accurate thrower.  A little anxious at the plate vs a soft LHP tonight. Popped up twice and a fly ball to CF, but I think he’s a sound hitter from both sides who will produce enough to get in the lineup every day at every level. Could be a good 2015 draft.

6/26/14 - Marrero has a strong frame with a thick lower half at 5-foot-10, 180 pounds. He shows a strong arm behind the plate with quick defensive actions and recorded pop times in the 1.8-2.0 range. He has a short, quick swing from the left side and is a little longer from the right. He doesn't incorporate his lower half much in his swing. Is a gamer type kid. Overachiever. Plays above his tools. Love his energy and his approach to the game. Son of Eli Marerro, former ML player.
