The Miami Marlins needed help in their starting rotation going into this draft. They addressed that issue with their first overall pick, but then drafted hitters and fielders with their next three selections. The fourth round marked a return to pitching.
Colton Hock is a right-hander out of Stanford. Pitching for the Cardinal, Hock worked mostly out of the bullpen in 2016. He made several appearances as a rotation starter while pitching in the Cape Cod league. It will be up to the Marlins to decide where best to use him as a professional.
