Adios pelota!
Liked him in spring just couldn’t put it together in the regular season hopefully he comes back and is kinda like an Eric Thames 2.0

I don’t think so.
Thames’s problems were purely mechanical. He had a uppercut swing, swung at pitches outside the strike zone, and didn’t swing at pitches inside the strike zone.
Marrero’s problems are purely mental. He looks scared at the plate, he gets overwhelmed etc. He has a very unbalanced swing too.
These are way harder than a few mechanical tune ups. I wish him the best, but it doesn’t look probable here.

Seems like mentally he’s his own worst enemy. He excels in any low-pressure situation but once the big league club needs hits he can’t provide.

Time will tell. They say the mental aspect is the hardest to conquer.
