The Miami Marlins used their top two picks<\/a> in the 2023 draft on high school pitchers Thomas White<\/a> and Noble Meyer<\/a>. They immediately became two of the team’s top prospects, as Meyer is a top 100 prospect overall, and White was the top left-handed prep pitcher available in the draft. They both began the season in Single-A Jupiter, and after a strong start to the year<\/a>, White and Meyer were promoted to the High-A Beloit Sky Carp in the Marlins system.<\/p>\n

Marlins Pitching Prospects White and Meyer Promoted to High-A<\/h2>\n

Noble Meyer<\/h3>\n

Meyer was the 10th overall selection in the draft and was, by far, the best prep pitcher available<\/a>, mainly due to his slider and a fastball that could already reach the mid-90s.<\/p>\n

In eight starts with the Jupiter Hammerheads, Meyer posted a 2.65 ERA (4.37 xFIP) in 34 innings pitched, striking out 30.5% of the batters he faced and holding opponents to a .148 average. Walks have been an issue (16.3%) but that didn’t keep the Marlins from moving him up.<\/p>\n

Marlins top prospect Noble Meyer punched out a career-high 11 over five innings yesterday.<\/p>\n

5 IP, 1 H, 1 ER, 3 BB, 11 K (85 P, 52 Strikes)<\/p>\n

Fastball averaged 95 mph and absolutely dominated at the top. Slider was a tunnel nightmare off of it, mixed in a couple good changeups. pic.twitter.com\/0HYgSZ8quW<\/a><\/p>\n
