Big Fish Small Pod for Monday, May 13

Ely Sussman shares recent stats and observations about prospects from each full-season level of the Miami Marlins farm system: Triple-A Jacksonville RHP Max Meyer, Double-A Pensacola RHP Evan Fitterer, High-A Beloit RHP Jacob Miller and Low-A Jupiter C Ryan Ignoffo.

Max Meyer has posted a 9.24 ERA, 6.05 FIP, 1.97 WHIP in 12.2 IP (4 GS) since being sent down to Jacksonville, using his changeup nearly twice as often as he did in the majors.

Evan Fitterer has strung together three consecutive scoreless starts for the Blue Wahoos (streak of 20.1 IP overall). A promotion to Jacksonville shouldn't be far away.

Jacob Miller is showing improved command and increased horizontal movement on his fastball. His ERA is 2.01 through five starts this season.

The Marlins' final selection of the 2023 MLB Draft, Ryan Ignoffo is converting to catcher in Jupiter. He is hitting extremely well at Low-A (.322/.423/.475, 161 wRC+), though his defense understandably is still a work in progress.

He's near the top of my queue for that. Next up, unfortunately, I've got to dive in on this Jacob Berry disaster. Even as somebody who had low expectations for him entering the season, Berry's numbers are astonishing.
