Comments: One of the better Draft prospects a year ago out of Georgia high school powerhouse Parkview, Marshall was drafted in the 21st round by the Astros. Many thought Houston would make a serious run at signing the southpaw, but he instead headed to LSU. Marshall changed course in September, leaving LSU for Chipola Junior College, making him Draft eligible again this year. In many ways, Marshall looked the same as he did a year ago, with the chance to have a solid three-pitch mix and the ability to command them. His fastball sits in the 90-92 range and he'll occasionally touch a tick or two higher, but he hasn't added much velocity since 2014. He does have a very good changeup with good fade. He continues to work on improving his breaking ball, a curveball that shows glimpses, but is still inconsistent. A broken hand kept him out of action for about a month, but he returned to the hill in late April. An elbow nerve issue forced him out of a late start, but he was throwing for scouts in late May to show teams he's healthy. If he can do that, his profile as an athletic lefty who knows how to pitch will interest many organizations during the Draft.
