Marlins Sign Comp Balance Round Pick Joe Mack

MLB Trade Rumors The Marlins have signed catcher Joe Mack for a $2.5MM bonus, MLB Pipeline’s Jim Callis reports (via Twitter).  It is a slight overslot deal for Mack, as the 31st pick in the draft and the first pick of Competitive Balance Round A has an assigned slot price of $2.312MM. A product of Williamsville East High School in western New York state, Mack has a 60-grade throwing arm, and MLB Pipeline’s scouting report figures “he’ll be at least a solid average receiver” with a little more development behind the plate.  Mack’s left-handed bat has a lot of power potential, though there is some debate on that topic amongst scouts.  As Baseball America’s report puts it, “those highest on Mack see an advanced hitter with good bat speed and a chance to hit for plus power in his prime, though others see more of a hit-first offensive profile with average power.”

The Marlins select Joe Mack 31st overall in the 2021 MLB Draft The Marlins take a catcher with their second pick of the draft. Share this story Photo by Michael Reaves/Getty Images With the 31st overall selection in the 2021 MLB Draft (the first pick of Competitive Balance Round A), the Marlins selected catcher Joe Mack from Williamsville East High School in East Amherst, New York. High school catchers are always risky picks, as teams tend to value plus hitters and hope their defense comes along an interesting strategy at the one position where front offices still consistently value defense over offense. Mack is somewhat of an exception, however. While he likely wouldn’t be valued as highly if he wasn’t the ultra-rare left-handed hitting catcher, Mack is a solid defender with a strong arm and looks to have enough skill to stick behind the plate as a pro.

Joe Mack drafted by Marlins with No 31 pick

MLB.com s Mayo: Maybe the best all-around catching prospect in this class 5:09 AM UTC Share share-square-557827 When the Marlins scouted prep catcher Joe Mack, they saw him compete in three sports: basketball, volleyball and baseball. In one particular instance, director of amateur scouting DJ Svihlik returned to upstate New York and caught him taking batting practice the morning after a district championship volleyball match.  It s very impressive when young players will do that, and you can t understate how important it is that they are playing multiple sports, Svihlik said. That plays into the fact that he hasn t played as much as some other guys, and then to go out last summer and to perform like he did on the biggest stage and be as competitive and successful, that gives you a lot of comfort that you got a player that just [not only has] tools, but he can actually play the game. So I was really excited.
