No. 82 OF Peyton Burdick
School: Wright State University
Measureables: 22 years old, 6’0”, 210 lbs.
Pre-Draft Rankings: No. 183 (Baseball America), unranked (MLB Pipeline), No. 122 (2080 Baseball)
2019 Stats: .395/.537/.710, 13 HR, 63 RBI, 60 BB, 34 K in 56 G
Previously Drafted? No
Twitter: @Pburd88
The 2019 Horizon League Player of the Year is slightly older than his peers due to the Tommy John surgery that caused him to miss the 2017 season.
“Burdick needs to do a better job recognizing breaking balls, but he’s shown a more discerning eye this spring and scouts like his swing. Burdick has excellent strength, but his pro future depends on how much he can continue to improve his hitting ability.” —Baseball America
No. 111 1B Evan Edwards
School: North Carolina State
Measureables: 6’0”, 200 lbs.
Pre-Draft Rankings: No. 297 (Baseball America), unranked (MLB Pipeline), unranked (2080 Baseball)
Previously Drafted? No
2019 Stats: .330/.455/.604, 14 HR, 60 RBI, 51 BB, 47 K in 61 G
Twitter: @Evan_Edwards16
Prior to transferring to NC State, Edwards spent 2016-17 at Spartanburg Methodist College.
“Even though he is physically maxed out, Edwards moves well around the bag at first base and is a sound defensive presence on the infield.” —Baseball America
No. 141 RHP Evan Fitterer
School: Aliso Niguel HS (CA); committed to UCLA
Measureables: 18 years old, 6’3”, 185 lbs.
Pre-Draft Rankings: No. 60 (Baseball America), No. 74 (MLB Pipeline), No. 100 (2080 Baseball)
Previously Drafted? No
Only reason why Fitterer was still available in the fifth round? Signability concerns.
“Fitterer has continued to show present stuff, including a two-seam fastball with impressive late life and excellent feel to spin and manipulate a curveball that projects as a plus pitch. He also has feel for a changeup that should be average...expected to be an expensive sign.” —Baseball America
No. 171 RHP MD Johnson
School: Dallas Baptist University
Measureables: 21 years old, 6’6”, 185 lbs.
Pre-Draft Rankings: unranked (Baseball America), unranked (MLB Pipeline), unranked (2080 Baseball)
2019 Stats: 2.76 ERA, 0.98 WHIP, 110 K in 98.0 IP
Previously Drafted? No
Johnson was homeschooled prior to attending DBU. That’s unusual!
The tall right-hander seems like a prime candidate to sign below slot value so that the Marlins can allocate the savings toward higher-round picks who have more negotiating leverage.
No. 201 RHP Bryan Hoeing
School: University of Louisville
Measureables: 22 years old, 6’6”, 225 lbs.
Pre-Draft Rankings: unranked (Baseball America), unranked (MLB Pipeline), unranked (2080 Baseball)
2019 Stats: 2.70 ERA, 1.10 WHIP, 60 K in 68.0 IP
Previously Drafted? Yes (2018, 36th round by San Francisco Giants)
Of the 24 appearances during his senior season, Bryan Hoeing made only five starts.
Copy and paste from the previous pick...the tall right-hander seems like a prime candidate to sign below slot value so that the Marlins can allocate the savings toward higher-round picks who have more negotiating leverage.
No. 231 RF Tevin Mitchell
School: UC Santa Barbara
Measureables: 22 years old, 6’1”, 175 lbs.
Pre-Draft Rankings: unranked (Baseball America), unranked (MLB Pipeline), unranked (2080 Baseball)
2019 Stats: .277/.373/.451, 5 HR, 37 RBI, 20 SB in 54 G
Previously Drafted? No

Underwhelming collegiate career for Mitchell prior to his senior campaign.
Once again, Marlins appear to be going cheap here to prioritize other prospects.

Peyton Burdick’s collegiate teammate comes with a dramatically different skill set, predicated on speed and defense.
