Former 1st Rd Pick Noble Meyer Lost To TJ Surgery

[Rob V]

21 year old 2023 1st Rd Pick Noble Meyer has undergone TJ Surgery in late August and will be lost for all of 2027. He was on the IL for a shoulder strain since the end of Spring Training, where he wasn't even given an invite after a lost 2025 being injured and not producing in Single A. The last of the Jeter Picks at 10th overall, his velocity dropped big-time to the low 90's in 2025 indicating something might be internally wrong. My guess is possibly a future reliever here but not gonna live up to his previous hype as a Frontline Starting Pitcher. What's your opinion on what seems to be another Jeter misfire?

Another terrible first round draft pick by D.J. Svihlik for a guy with an illustrous history full of terrible first round draft picks. I hope the Marlins just cut bait and release Noble Meyer and have someone else deal with the headache, just so we can close the book on DJ Svihlik so we can stop actively talking about him.

I'm not exactly thrilled with Frank Pilliere's pick of PJ Morlando but I'm hoping his picks end up better.
