Another top-ranked arm in the freshman class, Markus took a break from the hardwood to toss a low-effort bullpen with his fastball working at 82-84 mph. Looking the part of a future-starter, Markus is a twitchy mover with athleticism in his 6-foot-2, 160 pound frame. Markus has ample room for added strength, which will allow the fastball velocity to sky-rocket, and his arm works quick and freely to a 3/4 arm angle. Markus spins one of the best breaking balls in the class, a tight, 72-73 mph curveball that shows two-plane shape. He rounded out his three-pitch mix with a 75-77 mph changeup.
