3/16/14 - 6-foot-2, 185-pound two-way player with an athletic frame and long legs, projects well. At the plate hits from a balanced, slightly open stance, short stride, solid lower half involvement, quality balance. Has line drive swing with gap-to-gap coverage, fluid rhythm and loose hands, quick swing that generates lift and barrel whip. Exit velocity was 81 mph off the tee. At third base he plays through balls athletically with sound hands and clean exchanges. Arm works short, high ¾ slot, 72 mph across the diamond. Posted a 4.43 home to first time. On the mound he uses a tall and fall delivery with clean lines, some rhythm, regular effort. Arm works quick and loose, high ¾ slot. Fastball was 79-82 mph for consistent strikes. Changeup was a quality off speed offering, sitting 69-73 mph with sink. Curveball has 11/5 shape, sitting 66-67 mph.

4/30/19: Proportional frame at 6-foot-2, 220 pounds with a strong, durable build. Uses a simple, low effort delivery with consistent direction toward his target and a short stride. No funky movements or real deception to his throwing motion. Short, compact arm action with constant elbow bend does hide the ball slightly and allow velocity to play up a bit at times. Had arguably the worst start of his season on this look. Only lasted 2 innings and posted a line of 9 H, 9 ER, 2 BB and 3 SO. Prior to that, his shortest outing in 10 other starts was 5.0 IP. While the appearance was brief, he did flash four offerings that flashed average when thrown at their best. Fastball ranged 89-93 and sat mostly 90-91. No real movement or wiggle on the offering. Most effective when he can get extended out to his glove side to keep it away from RHH and in on LHH. The curveball has 11/5 shape with sharpness to it at 75-76. Grades to be at least average when thrown at its best. Slider wasn't effective at 78-81. Pulled it out of the zone too often. Has potential as a chase pitch, but Marsh wasn't ahead in the count often enough to utilize it that way. Lastly, the changeup came in at 81-83 and early on appeared that it would be a reliable secondary offering for him. Features quality speed differential from FB and late arm-side fade. Overall, Marsh has a strong build, throws with sustainable effort and flashed glimpses of having four average to near-average offerings. Doesn't have any plus pitches in his arsenal but he's proven he can be a reliable performer when he's on with 2-3 of his offerings. (Jurik)
