Here are details from UK:
LEXINGTON, Ky. – Kentucky catcher Coltyn Kessler has signed a free agent contract with the Miami Marlins, joining an organization that also selected pitcher Holt Jones in this month’s Major League Baseball Draft.
The Marlins’ signing of Kessler represents the sixth UK player they have drafted or signed since 2015, including OF Tristan Pompey and LHP Andrew Miller in 2018, IF Riley Mahan (2017), RHP Dustin Beggs (2016) and OF Kyle Barrett (2015). Zach Pop, an important piece of the bullpen during UK’s 2017 Super Regional run, was acquired by the Marlins last offseason and made his major league debut in 2021.
