Jakob Marsee Reassigned To Minor-League Camp
51 mins agoMiami Marlins outfield prospect Jakob Marsee (oblique) has been reassigned to minor league camp as part of Miami's first round of roster cuts this spring. The 23-year-old was a non-roster invitee this spring but had been battling an oblique strain sustained in mid-February and had yet to make a Grapefruit League appearance. The 2022 sixth-round draft pick has quickly worked through the minors, earning the Arizona Fall League MVP in 2023, then moving from Double-A to Triple-A in 2024, and will likely make his MLB debut this season. For now, however, the left-handed hitter will likely begin the year at Triple-A. Marsee put together a .200-10-47-90-51 line over 137 minor league games across two levels last year, but showed well at Triple-A with a .275/.370/.363 slash line over 22 games, with the OBP buoyed by superb plate discipline. The product out of Central Michigan University owns an elite 16.9 percent walk rate over his minor league career, allowing him to get on base and utilize his ability to steal bases. Unless desperate for steals, though, fantasy managers may want to take a wait-and-see approach with Marsee whenever he gets the call to the majors, and he's off the season-long fantasy draft radar.
