Here are Marlins' Draft picks from Day 2

For the first time in franchise history, the Marlins chose collegiate prospects with every pick. Day 2 of the 2025 MLB Draft on Monday included two of third-rounder Max Williams’ Florida State teammates.

Overall, Miami chose seven right-handers, four left-handers, three shortstops, three outfielders, one catcher, one first baseman, one second baseman and one third baseman.

“We try to get the bats as quickly as you can, and we think we can do a lot of things with pitchers, especially pitchers with big fastballs,” director of amateur scouting Frankie Piliere said. “There are baseline things that we like, we think we can help build off of that.”

Drew Faurot, SS
Round: Fourth (108th overall)
Bats/throws: S/R
School: Florida State
Calling Card: Ranked as MLB Pipeline’s No. 158 prospect, the 21-year-old routinely produces solid exit velocities but must do a better job of adjusting to non-fastballs.
Quote: “He's interesting in that he performed very well in the ACC, hits the baseball hard,” Piliere said. “He's a switch-hitter. He's an infielder. There's just a lot of core things there. We talk a lot about positioning yourself to exceed expectations. I think Drew's a good player today, very good player today. There's a lot of reasons to think he could get better in our system.”

Chris Arroyo, 1B
Round: Fifth (139th overall)
Bats/throws: L/L
School: Virginia
Calling Card: Ranked as MLB Pipeline’s No. 193 prospect, the 20-year-old was a two-way player with raw power. He won back-to-back national titles at nearby Stoneman Douglas High School.
Quote: “Our hope is that he plays first base and a little outfield,” Piliere said. “We'll get him in the door. He's been versatile. He's been pretty good at those spots. And obviously, he's still very young, which was appealing to us. And sort of to the earlier question of upside, age is an important factor with these guys. When you get a young college player like Chris, there's an offer of upside there, too. He's already been a very good hitter at the college level at a young age, and I think there could be defensive upside.”

Joey Volini, LHP
Round: Sixth (168th overall)
Bats/throws: L/L
School: Florida State
Calling Card: Ranked as MLB Pipeline’s No. 216 prospect, the 22-year-old earned second team All-ACC honors as a weekend starter. Volini’s stuff improved as a first-time starter, and he is a strike thrower.

Jake Clemente, RHP
Round: Seventh (198th overall)
Bats/throws: R/R
School: Florida
Calling Card: Ranked as MLB Pipeline’s No. 189 prospect, the 21-year-old became the Gators’ closer and had a high strikeout rate with a lively heater and an effective slider. He was high school teammates with Arroyo at Stoneman Douglas.

Emilio Barreras, SS
Round: Eighth (228th overall)
Bats/throws: L/R
School: Grand Canyon
Calling Card: Barreras was a three-time All-WAC Defensive Team member, and in 2025, the 21-year-old posted the third-lowest strikeout rate in the program’s Division I era (behind All-Star shortstop Jacob Wilson).
Quote: “Emilio, who we took later on, was one we're really excited about,” Piliere said. “Extreme contact rate that we think could maybe potentially get into more power.”

Kaiden Wilson, LHP
Round: Ninth (258th overall)
Bats/throws: L/L
School: Texas A&M
Calling Card: Wilson, 21, struck out 28 batters over 22 1/3 innings with a 4.43 ERA and a 1.25 WHIP out of the Aggies’ bullpen. His brother, Kyle, has played in the Mets’ organization, while his father, Chaun, was in the Orioles’ system.

Jake McCutcheon, 2B
Round: 10th (288th overall)
Bats/throws: L/R
School: Missouri State
Calling Card: Ranked as MLB Pipeline’s No. 228 prospect, the 21-year-old exhibits above-average swing decisions, contact and exit velocities. An outfielder during his junior season, Miami picked him as a second baseman.
Quote: “We kind of think that he might be able to play all over the field,” Piliere said. "It's always a bit of we're going to get him in the door [to] see what he can do. But that was kind of our thought in the room, that he might be able to play infield, outfield, and do a bunch of different things for us.”

Jadon Williamson, RHP
Round: 11th (318th overall)
Bats/throws: R/R
School: Lewis-Clark State College
Calling Card: The Cascade Conference Co-Pitcher of the Year led the conference in ERA (2.47), strikeouts (86) and opposing batting average (.200). A strike-thrower, he walked only 13 batters in 58 1/3 innings.
Quote: “Jadon Williamson was a fantastic pitcher, was pretty under the radar, not a lot of data on him,” Piliere said. “We got a good look at him. Our scout up there has done a great job staying on him and digging. This was not an easy guy to scout. He's not at one of the big schools. We think there's deception. We think there's a lot of unique action on his pitches, and just a really interesting project and projection piece that we think we can work with.”

Wilson Weber, C
Round: 12th (348th overall)
Bats/throws: R/R

Calling Card: A Buster Posey Award semifinalist (nation’s top catcher), the 23-year-old hit .326 with 15 doubles, two triples, 12 home runs and 58 RBIs. He finished with 20 multiple-hit games and 13 multi-RBI efforts.
