Marria

Uncommitted. Continuing his impressive past year at the plate, Marria, one of the top uncommitted players in the state, went deep in his first at bat of GDC. Then followed it up with more heavy barrels on Saturday. Showing an innate ability to sync up and deliver a well-leveraged barrel with present strength at 5-foot-11, 200-pounds especially to the pull-side. Marria seemingly always hits no matter the setting. With above-average raw power the RHH also shows a real feel to hit. As well as producing a quality showing during his start on the mound Saturday. With a FB/CB mix, the fastball lived 85-87 and topped at 88 with arm-side run. The curveball was shown at 72-73 while creating depth as Marria showed feel for spin. This is a top uncommitted bat with plenty of projection remaining that likely won’t be on the market much longer.

Uncommitted. Marria is one of the more exciting uncommitted guys in Georgia this summer. He continued to show his serious power as he slugged at a high level all weekend. In one game, he laced a 93.8 EV double that easily burnt the left fielder and got to the fence quickly. He then followed that up with a game where he hit a double down the LF line, and later a loud home run to the pull side as well. The power is very present and noticeable in Marria’s bat, and he should continue to improve as the summer goes along.

Uncommitted. Big, strong frame at 5-11 200lbs, made to barrel up baseballs. At the plate, stands tall with his bat placed over his shoulder pointing down and a high back elbow. Straightens up more as he loads with a big leg kick, doesn’t affect his timing however as he sits in his back hip well to keep his power stored up before turning the barrel thru the zone. Could cut down some on the leg kick in order to minimize movements pre-swing and have more success with power to all parts of the field. Soft on his feet as he strides thru the baseball, maintaining all his leverage and coming uncorked as he makes contact with a slightly uphill path. Quick flick of the wrists puts a jolt behind the ball in clip, displaying how much raw power is behind his swing. Swing stays short and compact as he turns the barrel, not many pitches are getting past him as he establishes his weight back on the ground after his stride. Big time potential as a run producer, has found comfort and ease handling third base and has enough arm strength to consistently make good throws, but could also see him moving across the diamond to first as well. At either position, the bat will play.
