Marlins Select, Agree to Sign Max Meyer in First Round of 2020 Draft

The Miami Marlins selected Minnesota pitcher Max Meyer with the 3rd overall pick in the 2020 MLB Draft. The right-hander was in his third season with the Gophers, posting a 1.95 ERA in 27.2 IP before the coronavirus pandemic cut his season short. Meyer had a tremendous career at Minnesota with a 2.07 ERA and a K/9 rate of 11.4 over 148 IP.

Although Meyer wasn’t at the top of the radar for a lot of fans that follow the Fish, his game film reveals a terrific repertoire that could land him in the top half of the rotation in a couple of years.
