Way back in 2011, Evan Marshall was selected in the fourth round of the draft, and three years later made the big leagues.
And he was pretty good: In 2014, Marshall had a 2.89 FIP in 49 1⁄3 innings. He was more of a strikeout pitcher then with some questionable command, but he was very effective. Unfortunately for him, it was downhill for the next few years, and not necessarily all his fault.
The 2015 season was the start of Marshall’s decline, as his FIP increased to 6.13, but more devastatingly, he was hit in the head by a batted ball and was diagnosed with a fractured skull.
