Offishial News for 7/16/24

Down on the farm, FCL Marlins lost, 8-5. 1B Julio Henriquez had a good day at the plate (2-4, BB), but a bad one on the bases (3 CS). DSL Marlins won, 10-5. RHP Eiver Espinoza allowed his first run of the season. However, his overall stats are still otherworldly (14.0 IP, 2 H, 1 ER, 4 BB, 15 K). DSL Miami lost, 8-7. OF Kemp Alderman was named the Florida State League Player of the Week.

Here's more Marlins news and content:

🔷 The Marlins made the following selections on Day 2 of the MLB Draft (Rounds 3-10): 2B Gage Miller, OF Fenwick Trimble, RHP Grant Shepardson, SS Payton Green, RHP Nick Brink, OF Jacob Jenkins-Cowart, 3B Dub Gleed and 3B Michael Snyder. Director of amateur scouting Frankie Piliere singled out Shepardson as a potential "steal" in the fifth round ("We think this guy really has as much upside as a lot of pitchers available beyond the first round"). Ten more selections coming today, with Round 11 getting underway at 2:00 p.m. ET.

🔷 Get familiar with each Marlins selection through our 2024 draft pick tracker. The blurbs will be updated as players agree to contracts leading up to the July 30 signing deadline.

🔷 Still time to enter to win this signed 2024 Jupiter Hammerheads Mega Bash hat. 

🔷 Elsewhere around baseball, Teoscar Hernández won the Home Run Derby, becoming the first Los Angeles Dodger to ever do so. He totaled 49 homers across the three rounds. Prior to the contest, Ingrid Andress butchered the national anthem. I made the following edit of Marlins players "reacting" to it.

🔷 The MLB All-Star Game is tonight at 8:00 p.m. ET. Hopefully, Marlins representative Tanner Scott gets called upon to pitch in a high-leverage situation. A reminder that the Marlins 2024 All-Star Bobbles on Parade bobblehead from FOCO is available for pre-order.
