Looking to inject some new blood into the system after a much needed off-day, the Diamondbacks called up center fielder, Brandon Marsh from Reno. The left-hand hitting Marsh ranked #82 on the top-100 prospect list. His AAA line of .281/.363/.428 was good for an OPS+ of 104. A speedster with a great glove and a powerful arm, Marsh also demonstrates great gap power. While his home is center field, he has both the arm and the bat to play right if necessary.
Brandon Marsh’s first game was not a great one. Batting in the lead-off position, the young Marsh was 0-for-4 with a walk and a strikeout.
