2017 MLB Draft profile: James Marinan, Dodgers’ 4th-round pick

Name: James Marinan

School: Park Vista Community HS (Fla.)

What he’s good at right now: Marinan was reportedly up to the mid-90s with his fastball this spring, which given the movement he can generate should already give him a plus pitch for pro ball.

What he can be good at in the future: Marinan is a physical prep arm, with a developing 6’5 frame and a clean ¾ arm action. Marinan’s arm strength should give him the chance to develop a plus breaking pitch to pair with his fastball and has durable starter upside.
