After a solid college career at FIU, the Miami Marlins took a shot on Lorenzo Hampton in the late rounds of the 2019 draft. To start the year off, Lorenzo was assigned to the Gulf Coast League Marlins. The reason for sending Lorenzo to the GCL was to develop his swing. Lorenzo has a lot of raw power and sees the plate well, but his swing itself is a very raw motion.
In the GCL Lorenzo excelled and played well above the Marlins expectations. Lorenzo batted .280 with 31 RBI, five steals and two home runs while helping the GCL Marlins win the East Division.
