Scouting Report (Baseball America, 11/13/07)

Strengths: Marson has an easily repeatable stroke that produces line drives to all fields. In 2007, he shortened his swing and developed a much more consistent two-strike approach. Defensively, Marson’s game-calling and receiving skills are above average. His arm grades as average to slightly above, and he ranked third in the high Class A Florida State League by throwing out 36 percent of basestealers.

Weaknesses: Marson’s footwork and lateral movement behind the plate need improvement. His arm action sometimes can get long, as he’ll lead with his elbow—likely the result of his days as a high school quarterback. He’s a below-average runner, though not bad for a catcher.
