Marlins Austin Dean, Nick Neidert Win Minor League Honors
Marlins outfielder Austin Dean and right-hander Nick Neidert were named the organization’s Minor League Hitter and Pitcher of the Year by MLB Pipeline.
One of the best things about the year both Miami Marlins outfielder Austin Dean and right-handing pitching prospect Nick Neidert had in 2018 was they both started it in Jacksonville with the Jumbo Shrimp. While Dean quickly moved on from the Marlins Double-A affiliate, Neidert remained in North Florida and became one of the more dominant pitchers in the Southern League.
Both were honored by MLB Pipeline as Miami’s Minor League Hitting and Pitching Prospects of the Year.
