He saw a lot of pitches and really made the pitcher work. He had a level swing that spent a good amount of time in the hitting zone and displayed solid bat speed. In his first at-bat, with the count full, he tried to pull an outside fastball and bounced it back up the middl. It turned into an infield single when the pitcher was unable to snag the ball. He recorded a total of three hits in five at-bats during this game.
Marrero’s offence hasn’t been great but he plays a steady shortstop and also runs the bases well. He has line drive pop and also has all the necessary ingredients to eventually hit for average once he gains a little more experience and, perhaps, is a little more aggressive with hittable pitches earlier in the count. I’d also like to see him go with the pitch a little more and speed less time trying to pull the ball. With the depth ahead of Marrero, the organization can afford to be patient with him.
