  6. As usual, the Miami Marlins are keeping their MLB Draft plans close to the vest. Being in the middle of the pack in terms of both draft order and overall bonus pool size, there are many factors beyond their control, anyway. In other words, predicting who they'll get with the 14th overall pick and beyond is difficult. Don't let that spoil the fun! Updated early Saturday morning, here is a roundup of the latest mock drafts from Fish On First's in-house analysts and leading national baseball publications. Hector Rodriguez of Fish On First No. 14 pick: Ace Reese, 1B/3B, Mississippi State No. 52 pick: Andrew Williamson, OF, UCF No. 71 pick: Will Gasparino, OF, UCLA No. 87 pick: Jack Slightom, RHP, Lyons HS (IL) No. 115 pick: Peyton Bonds, OF, Rutgers No. 147 pick: Deven Sheerin, RHP, LSU Sean McCormack of Fish On First No. 14 pick: Liam Peterson, RHP, Florida No. 52 pick: Ethan Bass, SS, Glenbrook North HS (IL) No. 71 pick: Ryan Peterson, RHP, Sam Houston State No. 87 pick: Alex Conover, OF, Oklahoma State No. 115 pick: Jake Carbaugh, RHP, Plant City HS (FL) FOF Mock Draft Consensus Board (courtesy of Jamie Cameron) No. 14 pick: AJ Gracia, OF, Virginia No. 52 pick: Chris Rembert, 2B, Auburn No. 71 pick: Owen Hull, OF, North Carolina No. 87 pick: Ruger Riojas, RHP, Texas No. 115 pick: Daniel Cuvet, 1B/3B, Miami Carlos Collazo of Baseball America No. 14 pick: Chris Hacopian, 2B, Texas A&M "I’ve continued to hear that Derek Curiel might be the preferred target here for the Marlins. If he gets this far on the board, I would expect him to be the pick. There are plenty of scenarios where that doesn’t happen, including this one. I’ll stick with Hacopian, though other bats like Ace Reese, AJ Gracia or Sawyer Strosnider could make some sense. Zion Rose is a bat I’ll speculate on some here as well. He could wind up surprising people with where he goes on draft day, even if I don’t have a no-doubt obvious landing spot for him in this mock." Jonathan Mayo of MLB Pipeline No. 14 pick: Derek Curiel, OF, LSU "The Marlins might not think the LSU standout will still be on the board, but if he is, he could get the nod over Hacopian or one of the college arms who come up at this point in the Draft, like Peterson or Tennessee right-hander Tegan Kuhns." Jim Callis of MLB Pipeline No. 14 pick: Jacob Lombard, SS, Gulliver Prep (FL) "This would be a coup for the Marlins, who couldn’t have expected to get Lombard even a few days ago. If this doesn’t come true, Reese, Grindlinger and Georgia prep outfielder Trevor Condon make sense here." Keith Law of The Athletic No. 14 pick: Taylor Rabe, RHP, Ole Miss "Rabe is the hottest name in the draft in terms of how much he seems to go up every time I do this exercise, having finished very strongly and scoring very well in teams’ draft models. I have heard them a little with some upside players (Justin Lebron, Gio Rojas), but more with somewhat safer college players, hitters or pitchers. The Marlins’ model tends to favor defense, so Lebron might fit but several of the other college bats wouldn’t." Eric Longenhagen of FanGraphs No. 14 pick: Gio Rojas, LHP, Stoneman Douglas HS (FL) "The Marlins have targeted big upside in recent drafts, usually with power-hitting position players who have struggled to hit. A continuation of that strategy could lead them to Alabama shortstop Justin Lebron in this scenario. If they want to change course, well, most of the high-contact college hitters are off the board here. High school outfielder Trevor Condon is the prep version of that profile. This is late for the first prep arm to go and would be great value, with a cherry of positive optics on top because Rojas is local." Adrian White of Just Baseball No. 14 pick: Ace Reese, 1B/3B, Mississippi State "Reese makes sense for Miami as one of the best college bats still available. The defensive home is not completely settled, but the left-handed power plays in this part of the round. He produced in the SEC, with enough contact ability to avoid the power-only label. Miami could let him continue proving himself at third base, though first base may be the cleaner long-term fit. Either way, the Marlins are betting on a bat with a chance to anchor the middle of a lineup."

  11. Prior to the start of each new Miami Marlins series, we invite the Fish On First staff, FOF LIVE guests and SuperSubs to participate in Prediction Time. Results for the 2026 season will be tracked here. This is how the scoring system works: Earn one point for predicting which team will win the upcoming series Earn one point for predicting the precise number of victories for each team Earn one point for predicting the “Series MVP” who accumulated the highest win probability added (WPA) during the series as calculated by FanGraphs (could pick a player from either team) That's a maximum of three points per series.
