Marsh, who signed for $1.073 million as the No. 60 overall pick in 2016, didn’t play after his signing was delayed because of a medical exam found a stress reaction in his lower back.
Stronger after months of rehabilitation, Marsh flashed his five-tool potential as one of the best players in the Pioneer League in his pro debut in 2017, although he missed a month with a sprained thumb. A standout wide receiver who helped his high school team win Georgia AAAA state championships in 2013 and 2014, Marsh is an elite athlete with a strong frame, plus speed and plus arm strength. He looked a little raw offensively in instructional league last fall, but showed advanced plate discipline at Orem, sitting on pitches like a college hitter. Marsh has shown an ability to hit to all fields and could grow into more power as he matures physically. The way the ball comes off his bat leads some scouts to project above-average power in his future.
The Angels believe Marsh has the speed and instincts to cover a lot of ground in center field, though he may eventually move to a corner spot. With a good, and healthy, first half at low Class A Burlington, Marsh could reach high Class A Inland Empire by the All-Star break.
