Manny Marin Stats & Scouting Report

Top Rankings

School: Elite Squad Baseball Academy, Fort Lauderdale, Fla. Commit/Drafted: Tennessee
Age At Draft: 19.2
BA Grade: 45/Extreme
Tools: Hit: 45. Power: 40. Run: 50. Field: 60. Arm: 55.

Marin is among the best defensive shortstops in the 2024 class. He pairs silky smooth actions with standout defensive instincts at the position, and was USA Baseball’s 18U national team starting shortstop in 2023. Marin has plus defensive potential at the position and above-average arm strength. He also was second on the team in hitting, though he was primarily buried at the bottom of the lineup during the team’s nine games in Taiwan. Marin has a line drive swing with solid rhythm in the box, but he lacks power now and doesn’t project for much in the future with a small, 6-foot-1, 170-pound frame. He’s old for the class, will be 19 on draft day and if he makes it to campus at Tennessee he’ll be a draft-eligible sophomore. Marin is a glove-first prospect who could improve his stock tremendously if he shows a bit more with the bat in a few seasons in the SEC.
