In 2022, he was a 6th-round pick by the San Diego Padres , fresh out of San Diego State University. He made his way through the minor leagues before joining the Marlins this year.
The one-of-a-kind Marlins rookie
Marsee was arguably made for the majors. Recently, he batted .246 with 14 home runs, 37 RBIs, 47 steals in 98 games in Triple-A Jacksonville.
