Jonathon Long With Shot at Marlins Debut This Season
Miami Marlins infield/outfield prospect Jonathon Long has four RBI and 14 runs scored in 13 games since joining Triple-A Jacksonville. Long was acquired by the Marlins from the Chicago Cubs at the trade deadline. In 99 games this season with Triple-A Iowa, Long hit .283 with 12 homers and 62 RBI to go with 67 runs scored. The 24-year-old infield/outfield prospect is the No. 19 prospect in the Marlins' system and has a 50-grade hit tool with 50-grade power. Long has the versatility to play either corner infield position along with the outfield, giving him a better shot at making his debut this season. With first baseman Kyle Stowers on the IL, that also gives Long a better shot at an MLB debut. The Marlins do have good outfield depth, along with Javier Sanoja manning third base, so Long will need to break through a bit for a big-league opportunity this season.
