Down on the Farm: Marlins Top Prospect Report - August 9th

The Miami Marlins (43-73) enter the weekend riding high. Entering Friday with a 3-4 record over their last seven games may not be good, but it is a better winning percentage than they have for the rest of the season.

For the Marlins' prospects that MLB Pipeline has listed as the top four in their system, it has been a mixed bag of results over the last week.

Noble Meyer (#1 Prospect; #38 in MLB)

Noble Meyer has not fared well since being promoted to the High-A Beloit Sky Carp. That trend continued with his start on Wednesday.

In his only game over the last week, Meyer allowed four runs, three earned, one hit, and three walks with no strikeouts and only made it through 2/3 of an inning. This brings his High-A ERA to 7.04 across 23 innings with 22 strikeouts and 20 walks in seven games.

Robby Snelling (#2 Prospect; #44 in MLB)

Robby Snelling made his Marlins' system debut on August 4th and it was a good one. He allowed one run on four hits and one walk while striking out seven in five innings. This start lowered his ERA on the season to 5.74 across 78 1/3 innings with 74 strikeouts in 17 games.

Thomas White (#3 Prospect; #55 in MLB)

Thomas White continues to impress since his promotion to Beloit. His most recent start came on Thursday and saw White allow one earned run on five hits with five strikeouts across five innings. This lowered his High-A ERA to 2.57 with 54 strikeouts across 42 innings in nine starts.

Max Meyer (#4 Prospect; #79 in MLB)

Max Meyer continues to struggle in the Majors after starting the season off hot. In his one start over the last week, he allowed six earned runs on eight hits and three walks while striking out two in just four innings. This start saw his MLB ERA rise to 5.10 with 26 strikeouts across 30 innings in six starts.
