MIAMI – The Miami Marlins today completed the 2023 MLB First-Year Player Draft, making 10 selections on Day 3. Of the 21 overall selections by Miami in the Draft, 13 were pitchers and 18 overall came from the collegiate ranks.
On Day 1 of the 2023 MLB First-Year Player Draft, the Marlins selected RHP Noble Meyer with the 10th overall selection, LHP Thomas White with the 35th overall selection, and OF Kemp Alderman with the 47th overall selection.

The 6-foot-7 first baseman ranked 2nd in the Big Ten in batting average and 3rd with his .492 on-base percentage. The Pasadena, Calif. native became the second MSU Baseball student-athlete to earn Academic and Athletic All-American honors in the same season.
