June 28, 201412 yr Alrighty Marlins fans the future is here! I went to Tyler Kolek debut game, here's the breakdown. Kolek was the starting pitcher for the GCL Marlins, facing 7 batters over two innings. He struck out the very first batter he faced on four pitches, walked the next guy who would get thrown out stealing, the next two batters got hits (hitting the ball well) but the lead runner got thrown out when he missed the stop sign. In the second he went three up and three down all on ground balls. Overall I had him throwing 32 pitches with 21 for strikes, his fastest pitch clocked in at 97 mph. Wayne Rosenthal was in attendance, but no Marlin execs were there unlike Heaney made his debut two years ago. First look at this years other draftees: Justin Twine appears to be having a hard time adjusting to the wood bays, played well in the field. Blake Anderson, catcher has some skinny legs! I hope they hold up to the rigors of catching, he had a couple of good AB's drawing a walk and hit a line drive the third baseman jumped and caught to rob him. The only player that hit the ball really well was 8th rounder Stone Garrett, he tallied 3 of the teams 7 hits.
June 29, 201412 yr When's Koleks next appearance? I don't know why but I thought the GCL marlins play on the west coast of Florida.

June 29, 201412 yr They play the same place the Hammerheads play. Do they? Huh. So they do. Interesting. I guess that's why they always play at around noon, then, so they can clear the field and clean it up for the Hammerheads and Cardinals.

June 29, 201412 yr Author They play on the lower fields, the stadium is for the FSL teams. Most GCL teams play on the practice fields when they share facilities within the organization.

June 29, 201412 yr Learn something new everyday! For you I believe that is a genuinely accurate statement.

June 30, 201412 yr For you I believe that is a genuinely accurate statement. If you don't learn something new everyday I actually feel sorry for you.
July 4, 201412 yr Jose Fernandez wasn't ish, either, then. His ERA in 4.1 innings in 2011 was over 10. Damn he sure sucked. Why'd we even give him a shot?
July 4, 201412 yr Author Kolek pitched again today (lost), five days after his debut, so I would guess they probably are going to us every five to six games. If that holds true he'll possibly pitch Thurs or Fri in Jupiter against the Cards

July 11, 201412 yr Kolek's latest outing... http://www.marlinsbaseball.com/topic/71137-minor-league-roundup-71014/
July 17, 201412 yr Today Kolek... 3ip 5h 4r 3er 2b 5k Combined - 7 walks allowed thru 10 innings. That was concerned.
July 17, 201412 yr It's Gulf Coast League. REEEEELAAAAAAAAAX Did you see Mark Appel's number in this season? It's "JUST" High A.
July 17, 201412 yr You're being ridiculous. He hasn't even pitched a full games worth of innings yet.
July 17, 201412 yr Did you see Mark Appel's number in this season? It's "JUST" High A. ????????????????????? Appel is 22. Kolek is 18. What exactly are you trying to compare here?
July 17, 201412 yr And Appel was a first overall pick. Kolek was a second overall pick. Appels and Oranges here, guys. /pun
