Uncommitted. Highly projectable frame, 6-foot-3, 185-pounds, lean build with a high waist. Started at third-base and hit out of the seven-hole for the Bulldogs as just a sophomore; notched a single through the left side of the infield in the contest. The right-handed hitter starts in a crouched position, slightly open front foot that works back to the plate with a long stride; his hands start close to his head and separate at foot-strike, moving with a flat path through the zone and showcasing quick hands with loose arms throughout. During IO, Marrs looked to have reliable hands at third-base, making plays to both sides of his glove and moving into a clean transfer. His arm plays true across the diamond with easy carry and backspin, also consistently making accurate throws to first. Marrs is an intriguing right-handed bat with a projectable frame that is easy to dream on.
