6-foot, 190-pound left-handed pitcher who has thrown very well in front of us. The fastball sat 77-78 mph with arm side action. He showed command of the fastball and a feel for locating on both sides of the plate. The spin pitch was 67-68 mph, and could still use a bit more fastball hand speed to the pitch. The changeup was 71-72 mph and arguably his best pitch that he shows. The delivery is online with the feet and the slot is plus ¾ in height. The lift is repeated, small amount of glove pull and he showed a solid tempo. The tracking of the front shoulder can still improve so he can tap into more extension/velocity

Marshall is a thick 5-foot-11, 195 pound prospect. The right-handed hitting infielder had an exit velocity of 73 mph off the tee. He hits out of a wide, slightly open stance. He uses a leg kick to transfer the weight to the back leg and allow his strong lower half to work through the swing. The swing itself is flat, to and through the hitting zone, remaining balanced when he’s done.

Defensively, he was 70 mph on his throws at first base. He moves well and the feet are light, as he gets into the fielding position. He breaks down behind the ball, with the glove out in front. His transition to the throwing position is good. His hands are soft and the feet create a good line with the target. The arm-swing is fluid and he finishes through the play in line with the target.

On the mound, this big, strong left-hander uses simple movements to get down the mound. The arm-swing is long and gets late movement on a fastball that sat 75-76 mph. The breaking pitch has side to side action at 64 mph and he showed the feel for a change-up that was 68-70 mph.

Tee Exit Velocity- 73 mph

INF Velocity- 70 mph
