Down on the Farm: Miami Marlins Top Prospect Report - August 16th

The Miami Marlins (45-76) acquired a plethora of new prospects ahead of the 2024 MLB Trade Deadline this season. After selling everything but the kitchen sink, the club surely has more top 100 prospects, right?

MLB Pipeline updated their prospect rankings this week to accommodate prospects moving teams and the 2024 MLB Draft. Even with all of the prospects the Marlins acquired, they still only have three that place within the top 100.

How have those three prospects performed over the last week? To find out, let's take a trip down on the farm!

Thomas White (#1 Prospect; #46 in MLB)

White, 19, is a prospect that the Marlins have had since drafting the left-hander 35th overall in the 2023 MLB Draft. Quickly advancing through the minors, he currently resides with the High-A Beloit Sky Carp.

White made one start over the last week. In it, he allowed one earned run on three hits and two walks while striking out three in five innings. This start lowered his High-A ERA on the season to 2.49.

Should White continue to pitch at this level, it will not be surprising to see him starting 2025 in Double-A.

Max Meyer (#2 Prospect; #71 in MLB)

Meyer, 25, still resides with the Major League club. He made one start over the last week, against the San Diego Padres (69-53). In that start, he allowed four earned runs on seven hits and no walks while striking out four in 6 1/3 innings.

His ERA on the season in MLB now sits at 5.20 after seven starts and 36 1/3 innings.

Noble Meyer (#3 Prospect; #76 in MLB)

Meyer, 19, calls White a teammate as he also resides with the High-A Beloit Sky Carp. He made one start over the last week. In it, he allowed two earned runs on five hits and three walks while striking out two in 3 2/3 innings.

Since being promoted to High-A, Meyer has pitched five innings in a game only once.
