Miami’s No. 11 prospect LF Brandon Compton stood out among the Marlins Top-30 prospects with a big night at the plate on Saturday. 

Compton went 3-for-5 with a home run and six RBI to lead Double-A Pensacola to a 16-6 win over Biloxi. He tied Jakob Marsee in 2024 for the Blue Wahoos’ single-game record for RBI.

Compton leads all Marlins minor leaguers with 20 home runs and has now homered in four-straight games.

The Marlins drafted Compton in the second round last year out of Arizona State. He earned Pac-12 Conference freshman of the year honors in 2024 with the Sun Devils and put together a record-setting Draft Combine performance with the three hardest exit velocities in the event's five-year history.

The Marlins signed him for an under-slot $2 million as a second-round pick and started him at High-A Beloit. He answered the call in his professional debut, hitting two home runs, 17 RBI with a .713 OPS and and a 112 wRC+ in 27 games.

Compton both teased his power and speed last summer. In his return to Beloit, he slugged 12 home runs with 40 RBI and 17 stolen bases in 60 games before being promoted to Double-A. 

In 13 games with the Blue Wahoos, Compton is slashing .373/.418/.863 with eight homers and 19 RBI. 

Marlins No. 4 prospect RHP Karson Milbrandt allowed three runs with five strikeouts over four innings for Triple-A Jacksonville. The Jumbo Shrimp lost 6-5 in walk-off fashion against the Rochester Red Wings on Saturday. 

No. 7 prospect LF Cam Cannarella collected a pair of singles and swiped a base for the Jumbo Shrimp. Cannarella is 2-for-8 in his first two games since being promoted to Triple-A.

No. 27 prospect RHP Aiden May tossed 5.0 scoreless frames, allowing two hits with five strikeouts to help the Sky Carp split a doubleheader with Cedar Rapids. May has a 3.88 ERA through 12 starts in Beloit. 

No. 26 prospect LF PJ Morlando drove in a run in the top of the fourth inning during Single-A Jupiter’s 14-11 loss against Daytona. It’s been a rocky season for the Marlins 2024 first round draft pick, but he has five homers runs and 27 RBI through 59 games for Jupiter. 

Triple-A Jacksonville (50-43) enters Sunday 6.5 games behind first place in the International League East. 

Double-A Pensacola is 10-9 in the second half and sits 3.5 behind in the Southern League South standings. 

High-A Beloit is 14-9 in the second half and is a half-game out of first place in the Midwest League South.

Single-A Jupiter already clinched a playoff spot in the Florida State League, after securing the FSL East Division First Half title.
