Tristan Pompey is a 6’4″, 200 lb . switch-hitting outfielder from New Westminster, Canada, in British Columbia. Born on March 23rd, 1997, the Miami Marlins chose him in the third round of the 2018 draft last month, with the 89th overall selection. Notable 89th picks over the years include Randy Johnson (101.1 WAR, 1982), Justin Morneau (27.2, 1999), Chris Young (17.3, 2000), and Nick Johnson (14.6, 1996).
It wasn’t the first time that the now-21-year-old Pompey was drafted. Three years ago, the Minnesota Twins tried to get him out of Jean Vanier Catholic high school, in the 31st round of the 2015 draft.
