Name: Adrian Marin
Position: shortstop
Team: Delmarva Shorebirds
Prospect Status: 10th ranked prospect in Orioles organization by Baseball America
Friday vs. Lakewood: 1-4 with an RBI
Positives: Marin has a great feel for the game and you could likely plug his glove anywhere on the field and he would perform well. He has a highly athletic body, and is very quick in game and very agile. He is either a shortstop or center fielder down the road. Marin is a plus runner with some quick-twitch actions that suggest he’s got more pop in his bat than his 170-pound frame would otherwise suggest. He’s drawn comparisons to former first-round pick and Florida product Nick Franklin along the way. Marin has a good shot to stick at shortstop and if a club believes he will mature physically and hit enough.
During the game Friday night against Lakewood, Marin showed great bat control in bunting for a hit in his first at bat, also made some good defensive plays but nothing that stands out.
Negatives: Probably won’t hit for much power going forward. Marin is a small-framed, wiry kid. He’ll get a little bit stronger, but doesn’t project as a real physical kid.
