Scouting Report

Acquired by the Marlins via trade from the Padres in May 2024

August 2025 update: Head was the youngest piece sent to the Marlins in the return for Luis Arraez. His speed was considered elite at the time of acquisition and he has continued to stand out in that regard coming off hip surgery.

As Head continues to grow, he will need to avoid trying to force power and instead come by it more naturally while also taking what he can get and letting his speed go to work for him. With good bat speed and plenty of physical projection left, there’s room for Head to put polish on raw tools as the years go on.
