JUPITER, FL—With the Miami Marlins on a long road trip, I decided to take a small trip to Jupiter to watch some of the Low-A prospects battle it out with the Daytona Beach Tortugas.
Marlins number eight prospect Jacob Miller was expected to start, but was a healthy scratch and will pitch at some point next week. Instead, the Hammerheads went with 19 year-old prospect Jhoniel Serrano who gave up five runs (four earned), struck out two, and walked six. Velocity wise, Serrano looked good as he topped at 92-93 MPH. Aside from that, Serrano used his Cutter, Curveball, Changeup, Sinker, and Slider which showed his deep pitch-mix, but aside from that, nothing truly impressive from the Hammerheads starter.
