Buzz: High school first basemen can often be tough to scout just since so much relies on their bat, but it helps when the bat is as explosive as that of Bobby Marsh. The Bellefonte first baseman was a monster in his freshman season, slugging seven homers and building on that the following year by slugging .661. Marsh has a discerning eye at the plate that has helped him draw plenty of walks in his first two seasons and makes him an exciting hitter to watch at the plate. Florida Atlantic has the early commitment on his services, but if he continues to build on what he’s already accomplished and continues to impress, MLB teams should be making a play for him.
