Dylan Lee never celebrates his birthday in the same place.
The left-hander turned 24 on Wednesday in El Paso, Texas as a visiting player with the Triple-A New Orleans Baby Cakes. Lee was in Greensboro on August 1, 2017. The year before that? Batavia, New York.
Expect this trend to continue into 2019. Barring injury, he should be joining the Marlins in Miami or another major league city when that date rolls around again.
Even in a relatively thin farm system, Lee has not received much attention from talent evaluators. MLB Pipeline excludes him from their Marlins’ top prospects list (no relation to Braxton Lee).
