Marlins select LHP Trevor Rogers with No. 13 overall pick

With the 13th-overall pick in the 2017 MLB Draft, the Miami Marlins have selected LHP Trevor Rogers out of Carlsbad High School in Carlsbad, New Mexico.

A tall, lanky lefty, Rogers holds an arsenal that includes a mid-90s fastball and a breaking pitch that has been explained as a hard curve or slider. I would expect him to add some velocity as he puts on some frame, standing at 6-foot-6 and only weighing 190 pounds.

In his senior year of high school, Rogers went 11-0 with a 0.33 ERA. He had a very impressive K to BB ratio, striking out a 134 and walking only 13. Not to mention, he also posted a 1.295 OPS at the plate this year.

Rogers has been described as having a very easy delivery. This is to be appreciated, as this lowers the chances for any possible injuries.

Very intimidating on the mound, Rogers has the potential to be a very dominant starter. If he can get a better feel for his secondary stuff, he's got legitimate frontline ability, and could become an exciting prospect for the Marlins.

Rogers has a college commitment to Texas Tech and some reports suggest he’s likely to sign though. The signability obviously didn't concern the Marlins, however, if they drafted him with their first pick.
