Marlins' Pitching Prospect Max Meyer to Debut on Saturday
The Miami Marlins No. 2 ranked prospect Max Meyer will make his Major League Baseball debut Saturday against the Philadelphia Phillies. The 23-year-old Meyer was a fast riser through the Marlins’ system, and his electric stuff dominated minor league hitters. On the weekend, we’ll see a fastball that runs up to the high 90s and a devastating slider that was the consensus best pitch in the 2020 draft class where he was taken third overall. Some scouts think Meyer has the potential to be a lights-out closer if he proves to not be durable enough for the front end of a starting rotation.
