Marlins draft LHP Braxton Garrett at No. 7

ESPN Stats & Information

The Miami Marlins selected left-hander Braxton Garrett of Florence (Alabama) HS with the No. 7 pick in Thursday night's MLB first-year player draft.

Scouting report: Garrett has seen a bump in velocity since last summer when he was mostly sitting in the high-80s and occasionally creeping into the low-90s. This spring, Garrett has been sitting 90-93 mph with some sink and showing the best present curveball of any prep lefty not named Jason Groome. Read the full report (Insider)

Keith Law's Big Board ranking -- No. 6: "Doesn't have the huge upside of most prep arms, but he already has command of an average fastball and a plus curveball." More (Insider)
