After taking position players with their first five picks, the Miami Marlins finally picked a pitcher with their fifth round choice. Right-hander Evan Fitterer joins the team out of Aliso Niguel HS.
Prior to Fitterer’s selection, the Marlins chose outfielder J.J. Bleday out of Vanderbilt, outfielder Kameron Misner out of the University of Missouri, shortstop Nasim Nunez out of Collins Hill HS, outfielder Peyton Burdick out of Wright State University, and first baseman Evan Edwards out of North Carolina State.
Heavy on the outfield picks, no? Bleday fits easily in a corner outfield spot, say right, Misner is a prototypical center fielder, and Edwards slots in at left or center.
