• Marlins' Robby Snelling: Better since trade

  09/11/2024 • By RotoWire

  Snelling has a 3.77 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 32:10 K:BB in 31 innings across six starts for Double-A Pensacola. The Marlins acquired Snelling as part of the deadline deal that sent Tanner Scott and Bryan Hoeing to the Padres. The 20-year-old lefty had a mediocre 10.3 K-BB% prior to the trade and has a 17.1 K-BB% since the deal. Snelling is the youngest qualified starter at Double-A and has now logged 100-plus innings in back-to-back minor-league campaigns.

• Marlins' Robby Snelling: Traded to Fish

  07/30/2024 • By RotoWire

  Snelling is part of the prospect package going from San Diego to Miami in exchange for Tanner Scott and Bryan Hoeing, Craig Mish of the Miami Herald reports. Snelling is the youngest qualified pitcher at Double-A, which helps explain some of his struggles this season. He had a 6.01 ERA, 1.68 WHIP and a 67:33 K:BB in 73.1 innings across 16 starts in the Texas League. Snelling has been capable of strong performances this year, including several starts in which he allowed one earned run or fewer with five-plus strikeouts over at least five innings, but he has lacked consistency, mixing in multiple starts in which he gave up more runs than innings pitched. The Marlins will likely assign Snelling to Double-A Pensacola, and if he can display more consistency, he could join the big-league rotation at some point in 2025.

  Snelling has a 3.86 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and a 23:14 K:BB in 28 innings across six starts for Double-A San Antonio. The youngest qualified pitcher at Double-A, Snelling was excellent in his first three starts (1.98 ERA, 1.02 WHIP, 15:7 K:BB in 13.2 IP), but he's allowed 21 hits while walking seven and striking out eight in 14.1 innings over his last three starts. On the bright side, the young southpaw has thrown five-plus innings in back-to-back starts and is a level or two ahead of most 20-year-old pitching prospects.
