Meet the 6 Rising Minor Leaguers Poised to Shake Up MLB This Summer—You Won’t Believe Who Made the List!

Fresh off a series win at Dodger Stadium and sitting at 15-16 in second in the wonky NL East, the Marlins have so far proven friskier than many expected. But the rotation has not been a driving force behind that success, with a pesky offense that wreaks havoc on the basepaths leading the way and a surprisingly stout bullpen locking down the later innings. Marlins starting pitchers are in the middle of the pack by most measures and they lag behind in the swing-and-miss category, ranking 26th in strikeout rate. One option to add a jolt to the starting staff is the 22-year-old Snelling, one of the top left-handed pitching prospects in the minors. The 39th pick by the Padres out of a Nevada high school in 2022, Snelling was shipped to Miami as part of the package for Tanner Scott at the 2024 trade deadline.
