Marlins' Max Meyer: Stymies Mets for first win
Max Meyer (1-1) picked up the win in Wednesday's 5-0 victory over the Mets, allowing two hits and two walks over 6.1 scoreless innings. He struck out four.The 26-year-old righty continued his impressive beginning to 2025 with arguably his best performance yet. Meyer took a no-hitter into the sixth inning before Francisco Lindor slapped a one-out single up the middle, and he eventually got lifted after 82 pitches (51 strikes). Meyer will carry a 2.00 ERA and 19:5 K:BB through 18 innings into his next outing, which lines up to come at home early next week against the Diamondbacks.

Marlins' Max Meyer: Fans eight in quality start
Max Meyer (0-1) was handed the loss after allowing three runs on eight hits and two walks in six innings Friday against Atlanta. He struck out a career-high eight.The right-hander kept Atlanta in check during his time on the mound, turning in a quality start before the Miami bullpen allowed seven runs. The third inning proved to be the most damaging for Meyer, who gave up a Marcell Ozuna two-run double and an Austin Riley RBI single in the frame. The 2020 No. 3 overall pick has flashed some upside out of the gates, having yielded just four earned runs with 15 strikeouts over 11.2 frames, and his slider has been especially devastating. Per Christina De Nicola of MLB.com, he's generated a 47.4 percent whiff rate on the pitch to begin the year, throwing it two miles per hour harder than in 2024 without sacrificing any movement. Even so, Meyer will be tough to trust in mixed fantasy leagues in his next projected start on the road against the Mets.

Marlins' Max Meyer: Fans seven in no-decision
Max Meyer did not factor into the decision in Sunday's 3-2 win over Pittsburgh, pitching 5.2 innings while allowing two runs (one earned) on five hits and one walk. He struck out seven.The 26-year-old right-hander was impressive in his first outing of the season, tossing 93 pitches and generating 12 whiffs while falling one out short of a quality start. After averaging 94.1 mph on his fastball in 2024, Meyer demonstrated increased velocity in this appearance, posting a 95.6 mph average on the pitch. The 2020 first-round pick produced a solid 3.21 ERA with a 11:2 K:BB across 14 innings in the Grapefruit League and looks poised for a year that matches his draft pedigree. Meyer currently lines up to make his second start at Atlanta next weekend.

Marlins' Max Meyer: Locked into rotation spot
Max Meyer threw a simulated game on a back field Thursday as the Miami Marlins prepare him for a role in the Opening Day rotation, Chuck King of MLB.com reports. "Max has been terrific," manager Clayton McCullough said. "He's in a great spot... It's just a chance to do it in a more controlled-type setting."The young right-hander came into camp simply trying to win a rotation job, but since then Braxton Garrett (elbow), Edward Cabrera (finger) and Ryan Weathers (forearm) have all broken down, potentially positioning Meyer to start the second game of the season for the Marlins on March 28 against the Pirates. Meyer, the third overall pick in the 2020 First-Year Player Draft, has yet to put things together in the majors, posting a 5.86 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 52:21 K:BB in 63 IP, but he's looked good this spring with an 8:2 K:BB and zero homers allowed in nine Grapefruit League innings.

Marlins' Max Meyer: Favorite for fifth starter job
Max Meyer appears to be in the lead to win the fifth starter role to begin the season, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.There's no big surprise here, as the 25-year-old right-hander's main competition for the job, Valente Bellozo, lacks Meyer's pedigree or raw stuff. Meyer is being brought along carefully in camp after throwing 115 innings last season between Triple-A and the majors in his return from Tommy John surgery, and through three innings so far over two Grapefruit League appearances, he has yet to allow a run with a 2:1 K:BB.

Marlins' Max Meyer: Reaches 97.7 mph in spring debut
Max Meyer topped out at 97.7 mph while completing a scoreless inning Wednesday against the Mets in his Grapefruit League debut, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.Meyer issued a two-out walk in the frame but needed only 13 pitches to get out of things unscathed. The right-hander's four-seamer averaged 96.4 mph in the outing, which is up more than two mph from what he averaged with the pitch last season. Meyer attributed the velocity increase to "a big offseason in the weight room," Daniel Alvarez-Montes of ElExtraBase.com reports. He had an up-and-down 2024 season which featured a 5.68 ERA and ended prematurely due to a shoulder issue, and Meyer is essentially still a prospect as he competes for a spot in the Miami Marlins' rotation for 2025.

Marlins' Max Meyer: Working on expanding arsenal
Max Meyer worked with new Miami Marlins pitching coach Daniel Moskos this offseason on grips for a sinker and a sweeper, as well as on refining his changeup, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports."My slider is going to be more down in depth and my sweeper's going to come across the plate," Meyer said Friday before displaying his new arsenal in a live batting practice session. "I feel like with the movement, there's definitely a big separation between those two... My change is going to be a really good pitch, too, one of my best pitches. I feel like all my pitches are one of my best pitches right now. I just have crazy confidence in them that I haven't had a lot in the past going through the injury." Meyer has relied mainly on two pitches, his mid-90s fastball and nasty slider, dating back to his college days, and if even one of his other offerings can become a quality pitch, it would significantly improve his chances of not just sticking in the rotation but reaching his sky-high ceiling as a starter.

Marlins' Max Meyer: Throws live batting practice
Max Meyer (shoulder) threw live batting practice Friday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.Meyer's 2024 season ended in early September due to right shoulder bursitis, but it appears he is entering camp this spring without any restrictions. The young right-hander, who was the third overall pick in the 2020 Draft, could have a leg up for one of the spots in the Miami Marlins' rotation given the significant upside he offers. Meyer posted a 5.68 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 46:19 K:BB through 57 big-league innings in 2024, but he has a career 151:45 K:BB over 126 Triple-A innings.

Marlins' Max Meyer: Officially placed on IL
The Miami Marlins placed Max Meyer on the 15-day injured list Saturday with right shoulder bursitis.Meyer was originally slated to make his next start Sunday against Philadelphia. However, his move to the IL will keep him sidelined for multiple turns through the rotation, meaning the 25-year-old righty likely only has one or two starts left in the season, even in a best-case scenario. The Marlins have yet to name a replacement for Meyer in their starting rotation.
