MLB Announces Prospects Selected for "Spring Breakout" Matchup Against Cardinals
The Miami Marlins, while not as deep as they've been in the past, have some very good pitching prospects in the farm system.
And we're going to get to see two of the best in action.
MLB announced the prospects selected for the "Spring Breakout" game versus the St. Louis Cardinals, and both RHP Noble Meyer and LHP Thomas White made the list for Miami.
Both pitchers, taken in the 1st round out of high school in last year's MLB Draft, will be making their 2024 debuts in the game, as they've been working on backfields so far this spring in lieu of being in major league camp.
