Nic Enright

Organization Prospect Rankings

• 
  Ranked Miami Marlins #17 prospect in 2023
  BA Grade/Risk: 40/Medium
  
  Track Record: Enright was drafted out of high school in 2015 by the Mets but opted to head to Virginia Tech. He pitched three years with the Hokies in a predominantly reliever's role before Cleveland called his name in the 20th round of the 2019 draft. Enright advanced quickly through the minors and spent all of 2022 at the upper levels, where he racked up 11.9 strikeouts and just 1.9 walks per nine innings. He was taken by Miami in the Rule 5 draft.
  
  Scouting Report: Enright was attractive to the Marlins as a plug-and-play reliever with a high amount of success at every stop. He mixes a low-90s fastball that peaks at 94 and shows outstanding carry through the zone. The life on the fastball, coupled with Enright's ability to command it in the zone, helps it play well beyond its radar gun readings. He backs the fastball primarily with a low-80s slider that functions as an excellent out pitch and got whiffs 52% of the time. He also sprinkles in a mid-80s changeup and a mid-70s curve. Enright ties the arsenal together with plus control.
  
  The Future: Enright was taken in the Rule 5, so he'll get plenty of chances to succeed in the big league bullpen. He has a ceiling of a middle-innings reliever.
  
  Scouting Grades: Fastball: 55. Curveball: 30. Slider: 60. Changeup: 30. Control: 60

Draft Prospects

• Ranked #231 prospect in 2015 draft
  Enright picked up helium last fall, when his fastball peaked at 94 and he flashed an above-average breaking ball. This spring, Enright did not quite show the same velocity, pitching more in the upper 80s and lacking consistency with his breaking ball. Enright has a clean delivery and live arm action, and scouts could dream on when he had his best stuff. This spring, however, Enright did not show the command that scouts were hoping for. He is 6-foot-3 with broad shoulders and a powerful trunk. Enright has shown the raw materials to develop into a major league starter, but didn't quite show it this spring. He is committed to Virginia Tech, and has multiple family members who also attended Virginia Tech. Enright appears unlikely to sign out of high school, but a team could still take a shot at him.
