Justin Twine: Marlin on the Rise

Related Topics: Minor League Baseball

Justin Twine, our #50 ranked Marlins prospect, will enter the 2018 season trying to make the leap from Single-A and to prove himself in a fluid and rebuilding Marlins farm system.

Twine, a 5-foot-11 middle infielder originally from Falls City, Texas, was drafted out of high school in the second round (43rd overall) of the 2014 draft. In high school, he was ranked as the 93rd best player in the US for his class by Perfect Game, largely due to a 6.52 second 60-time, and an 89 mph infield arm. Justin turned down a spot at college baseball powerhouse TCU to go pro, as did classmate Tyler Kolek, who the Fish drafted in the first round that same year.
