With their first pick in the 2022 MLB Draft (No. 6 overall), the Marlins selected Jacob Berry, infielder/outfielder from Louisiana State University.
“Simply put, one of the best hitters in the 2022 class. A year removed from anchoring the Arizona Wildcats lineup, Berry transferred to LSU to follow Jay Johnson. Berry was not only arguably the best freshman in college baseball in 2021, you could make the argument he was one of the best players in the country regardless of age. He’s a potential plus hitter with above average power. His optimized swing is allowing the power to play immediately.
