Alec Marsh Throws Bullpen Session
Kansas City Royals right-handed pitcher Alec Marsh (shoulder) recently completed a successful bullpen session. Marsh has been dealing with tightness in his shoulder during the early part of camp. The 26-year-old has been able to throw several bullpens but has yet to make his spring training debut. Last season, Marsh was deployed primarily out of the rotation and held a 4.53 ERA with a 1.26 WHIP across 129 innings of work. He tallied 123 punchouts with a modest 7.1 percent walk rate. However, he generated a high 4,97 xERA with a .264 xBA, which placed him in the 10th and 15th percentiles among qualified pitchers. Marsh also generated groundballs at a low 38.8 percent rate. When Marsh is eventually cleared to return to games, he should compete alongside Kris Bubic for the final spot in the rotation. However, given his missed time, Bubic has been viewed as a leading candidate.
