08/29/2024 - All-Ripken Games - Baltimore, MD Ashton Marcus is a SS/OF prospect that recently played at the All-Ripken Games. On the mound his delivery displayed great balance and it's fairly simple but most importantly it's repeatable which is why he is able to have good command. He pounded the strike zone religiously. Defensively he was extremely athletic and showed a great amount of range at shortstop and in the outfield and had really sure hands. Those are all fine attributes if you plan on playing outfield and shortstop. His smoothness and confidence went on defense really seemed to stand out as he is extremely comfortable playing defense. At the plate he had great strike zone discipline as he was able to draw two walks. His bat to ball skills evident as he rarely took a swing and missed so he is definitely a contact guy and whenever that's the case it's never a bad idea for hitters to start swinging with bad intentions. When he incorporates that mentality into his approach he's gonna be an even more dangerous hitter than he already is.
