3rd round #92 Player:Justin Marks Pos. :LHP Class :Jr. B-T :L-L HT:6-3 WT:195 College:Louisville Hometown: Owensboro, Ky. Last Drafted:Red Sox '06 (37) B’date:1/12/1988 BA: 3 92 Justin Marks LHP Louisville Ky. (National rank: 83) Marks started winning immediately at Louisville, quickly joining the rotation as a freshman in 2007 and earning victories in the Big East tournament and NCAA regional clinchers during the Cardinals' run to their first-ever College World Series. In three seasons, he has become the program's career leader in wins (29), ERA (2.96) and strikeouts (305 in 301 innings). He set another school mark with 11 victories this season. Marks doesn't have an overpowering pitch but he's a lefty with command of four solid offerings: a lively 90-92 mph fastball, a slider, a downer curveball and a changeup. Outside of a rough time in the Cape Cod League last summer, he has been very consistent. Marks has a good 6-foot-3, 195-pound frame, though there's some violence in his delivery from a high three-quarters slot. He could beat out more ballyhooed Chris Dominguez to become the first Louisville player drafted this year, with both figuring to go near the third round. pgcrosschecker: 92. Justin Marks LHP Jr. L-L 6-3 195 Louisville Owensboro, Ky. Red Sox '06 (37) 1/12/1988 SCOUTING PROFILE (3/1): Marks posted near-identical seasons in his first two years at Louisville, going 9-2, 2.67 with 38 walks and 87 strikeouts as a freshman, and 9-2, 2.37 with 39 walks and 89 strikeouts as a sophomore. He burst on the scene in 2007 as an unsigned draft pick of the Boston Red Sox out of an Owensboro high school, leading the Big East Conference with 18 starts and a .189 opponent batting average while playing a key role in leading Louisville to its first-ever appearance in the College World Series. A year ago, he topped the Cardinals in wins, ERA and strikeouts. Going back to his high-school days, the 6-foot-3, 195-pound Marks has always had the projectable body and arm to warrant being an early-round draft pick. His stuff and mechanics were more of an issue when he entered college, but he achieved much of his success in his first two years at Louisville on the strength of a fastball at 88-92 mph and an often-nasty slider, his best pitch. But his stuff came into question again last summer. After being dropped from Team USA's college-national squad in the final round of cuts, Marks moved on to Chatham of the Cape Cod League and was nowhere near the pitcher in five starts that he was advertised to be. His fastball was typically in the 87-89 mph range, topping at 91, his slider and curve were inconsistent and his command was poor. His pitches were routinely up in the zone, and he got knocked around as his 0-1, 6.33 record with 18 walks and 27 hits allowed in 21 innings attests. Not only were his stuff and command inconsistent, but long-standing concerns about his arm action and mechanics resurfaced. Marks has always had a pronounced head whip, but he wasn't fluid all the way through his delivery, either. His disappointing summer caused scouts to pause when evaluating Marks for the 2009 draft, but it may well be expunged from his record if he performs as a junior like he did his first two years in college. Though there has always been some effort in his delivery and a tendency to overthow, he also is athletic, fields his position well, has a good pickoff move and generally has a good feel for all his pitches, particularly his slider. Though none of his pitches is considered outstanding, he gets good tailing action on his fastball against lefthanded hitters coming from a high three-quarters arm angle. His slow, sweeping curve is also effective and he gets good sinking action on a 76-78 mph change. -ALLAN SIMPSON UPDATE (5/15): Marks emerged this spring as a dominant Friday starter for Louisville, going 11-2, 3.40 while striking out 125 and walking just 32 in 100 innings. He also allowed just 79 hits. He was especially strong late in the season for a Cardinals team that advanced to the NCAA super-regionals, and plenty of cross-checkers were there May 14 when he struck out 12 in 7-2/3 innings in a 2-1 Big East Conference win over South Florida, his most impressive outing of the season. He carved up the Bulls with a fastball that peaked at 93, and the outing did nothing but cement his chances of being picked in the top 2-3 rounds. Two things, in particular, that Marks did better in 2009 were holding his velocity better late into games, often pitching in the 90-92 mph range up to the end of his pitch count; and commanding his curveball better to work ahead in counts. Marks' delivery will never be smooth and he still likes to drop down his arm slot on occasion to give hitters different looks. He will also have to use his changeup more at the next level, but those are relatively minor adjustments.-DAVID RAWNSLEY / AS http://www.thebaseballcube.com/players/M/Justin-Marks.shtml age W L ERA G GS IP H R ER HR BB SO 2007 LOU 19 9 2 2.67 19 18 104.2 71 38 31 7 38 87 2008 LOU 20 9 2 2.37 18 14 91 72 36 24 3 39 89 2009 LOU 21 11 3 3.77 18 16 105 86 51 44 5 35 129 http://www.uoflsports.com/sports/m-basebl/stats/2008-2009/teamcume.html#TEAM.MLB -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 122.117.152.63
