Marlins To Select Jakob Marsee

By Nick Deeds | August 1, 2025 at 8:09am CDT

The Marlins are selecting the contract of outfielder Jakob Marsee, according to a report from Robert Murray of FanSided. A corresponding 40-man roster move will be necessary in order to make room for Marsee.

Marsee, 24, was a sixth-round pick by the Padres in the 2022 draft. He was part of the trade package GM AJ Preller shipped to the Marlins last May to acquire Luis Arraez, and he had a down year at the Double-A level between the Padres and Marlins organizations. His new club still promoted him to Triple-A for a taste of the highest level of the minors late last year, however, and that decision paid off when he turned in a fairly respectable .275/.370/.363 slash line across 22 games and 93 plate appearances at the level.

This year, Marsee has returned to Triple-A and excelled. In 98 games for the Marlins’ Jacksonville affiliate, he’s slashed a sensational .246/.379/.438 with a wRC+ of 125. He’s clubbed 14 home runs, swiped a phenomenal 47 bases, and walked at a 15.9% clip. High walk rates have always been a part of Marsee’s game, and he’s never walked less than 15.3% of the time in any MiLB season. After striking out 22.4% of the time last year en route to below average results at the plate, however, Marsee has cut down on the whiffs and struck out just 18.9% of the time.

Now the outfielder will get a chance to prove himself in the majors. Marsee has experience at all three outfield spots, but the overwhelming majority of that playing time has come in center field. That may be where he plays in the majors given that most scouts view him as at least average at the position, though the Marlins’ outfield mix is in flux after yesterday’s trade of longtime outfield stalwart Jesus Sanchez to the Astros. Kyle Stowers appears to be locked in as the club’s everyday left fielder amid a brilliant season. Dane Myers is currently getting the majority of the reps in center field, with Heriberto Hernandez and Javier Sanoja also getting outfield time. Sanchez played regularly in right field, so Marsee may be asked to simply slide into that position despite having only an average arm.

Wherever Marsee ultimately plays, he figures to get an opportunity to prove himself in the majors over the season’s final two months. The 52-55 Marlins are clear longshots for the postseason even after keeping both Sandy Alcantara and Edward Cabrera in the fold yesterday, and the focus remains squarely on developing young players for the future. Figuring out what role Marsee will play in that future is likely to be a priority for manager Clayton McCullough and president of baseball operations Peter Bendix over the season’s final 55 games, and the youngster proving that he can be a capable regular in the outfield would go a long way to creating optimism about the team’s ability to compete in the near-term. If he can prove himself, Marsee would join a growing nucleus of young talent that includes Stowers, Cabrera, Eury Perez, Agustin Ramirez and Ronny Henriquez, among others.

In the meantime, Marsee figures to make his big league debut against the Yankees in Miami later today. The game is scheduled for 7:10pm local time, the Marlins will need to create space for Marsee on the 40-man roster even though there’s an active roster vacancy due to the Jesus Sanchez trade. That’s because the return for Sanchez, right-hander Ryan Gusto, was already on the Astros’ 40-man roster before he was acquired by the Fish.

    OBP MACHINE. He’s going to be interesting. Let’s see if the OBP holds up at the highest level.

    His minors on base percentage is nice. Hopefully, it translates.

      Yep. Another former SD prospect gets a shot. I thought he was the CF of the future before the trade and JM having claimed the spot since.

    Him and Heriberto should be strong platoon duo in either LF or RF easily replacing Sanchez productions.

    If this keeps up the Marlins might be scary sooner than we think. Maybe this time they won’t do a fire sale right after they get go….who am I kidding.

      Only question is will Bruce spend money. Not on Facilities in the DR. On actual major league talent whether it’s extensions for Perez, Ramirez. Or eventually during FA.

      Seems like he got it right with the Front Office. Also it just shows how incompetent Jeter & Co. were.

    I feel like he’s got a great shot to be a 1-2 win LF on the long strong side of a platoon. Good guy to have!

    I happened to see him play in person a couple of times at AAA last week. He looked promising, including defensively in CF.
