Trevor Rogers is a 6’6” left handed pitcher from Carlsbad, New Mexico, and the newest first round pick of the Miami Marlins. He was MLB.COM’s 25th rated prospect going into the draft, going one pick after 12th ranked RHP Shane Baz went to the Pirates and one pick before 13th ranked first baseman Nick Pratto went to the Royals.
Rogers signed with the Marlins a week after the draft, at nearly a half million dollars below slot value, for $3.4 million. This was his tweet at the time:
I'll miss you Carlsbad, but Florida is calling my name and it's time to get to work.
