One of the newest additions to the Marlins family is athletic right-handed pitcher Sterling Sharp. He began his professional career by signing with the Washington Nationals as a 22nd-round draft pick out of Drury University in 2016. He performed well enough—career 3.71 ERA in 378.1 IP, reaching as high as Double-A—to merit serious 40-man roster consideration following the 2019 season, but the Nats left him unprotected entering December’s Rule 5 Draft. The Marlins selected him with the third overall pick.
A 6-foot-3 righty, Sharp has shown that he knows his strengths and continues to develop on the mound.
