If his brief audition with the Yankees' GCL affiliate is any indicator, the Bronx Bombers seem to have found a nice value pick in the fireballing Texan. Marshall's heater sits between 94-96 MPH and his 84-88 MPH slider has a sharp bite to it and should become a knockout pitch at the MLB level. Although he is small in stature, Marshall's thick build should be able to handle a decent workload as a starting pitcher. He is a gritty competitor on the mound and is not afraid to go after hitters with his two plus pitches. A former shortstop, Marshall is still pretty raw on the mound as testified by his struggles to repeat his mechanics and arm slot. Also, though he is tinkering with a changeup, it is far from being a major league pitch at this point. The Yankees have gone ahead to develop him as a starter, though his size and two power pitches may make him more valuable as a late inning reliever in the future.
2009 Projection: Marshall has only 6 professional innings under his belt which, given his youth and considerable rawness, should relegate him to short season Staten Island for the '09 campaign. Watch to see if he can dominate hitters at this level while keeping his walk totals down. There is quite a bit of potential in Marshall's young arm but he has quite a ways to go before being able to don the pinstripes in Yankee Stadium.
