Scouting Report

Acquired by the Marlins from the Rays via trade in July 2025

October 2025 update: Etzel has constantly been on the move—he transferred from a Texas junior college to the University of Southern Mississippi in 2022, got drafted by the Orioles in 2023, then traded to the Rays in 2024, only to be traded again the following summer. He does not hit the ball especially hard, but makes sound swing decisions.

Since acquiring him, the Marlins have mainly deployed Etzel in center field.
