Just from Rounds 2 to 4 of the 2014 MLB Draft, the Tampa Bay Rays selected three pitchers out of high school. This year, however, it wasn’t until the 22nd round that the Rays even selected one such arm. Luckily for us, the player they picked was worth the wait. Justin Marsden is a 6’3″, 175 right-hander out of Mountainview High School in the state of Washington who brings to the table projectability, a ridiculous curveball, and quite a personality as well.

As you have probably noticed, my draft coverage has gone a lot slower than other outlets like DRaysBay–I chose to prioritize depth of information about every player over speed.
