MLB Draft 2015: Miami Marlins Day 1 Recap

The Miami Marlins selected Josh Naylor in the first round and Brett Lilek in the second round of the MLB Draft.

The Miami Marlins had two selections on the first night of the 2015 MLB Draft, and each prospect that the Marlins picked ended up being a surprise in their own way. The Marlins selected Josh Naylor with the 12th overall pick in the first round. Naylor is a high-school prospect from Ontario, Canada and, while he is currently is committed to Texas Tech, he will only attend there if he is unable to work out a contract with the Marlins

Miami's selection of Naylor came as a surprise for a few reasons, with the first being that Naylor was ranked as the 59th best prospect in MLB.
