CLEVELAND — Jakob Marsee<\/a> is making quite the impression in his first major league action with the Miami Marlins<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Marsee homered twice and matched a franchise record with seven RBIs in Miami’s 13-4 victory at Cleveland on Wednesday night. He hit a three-run drive in the first inning, a tiebreaking two-run shot in the fifth and a two-run double in the sixth.<\/p>\n

The last player to drive in seven runs for the Marlins was Adam Duvall<\/a> on April 13, 2021, at Atlanta.<\/p>\n

“It’s obviously an honor and super special,” Marsee said about adding his name to the team’s record book. “But I mean, that stuff, like, doesn’t really matter to me. I just want to win, so anything I can do to help the team win.”<\/p>\n

The speedy center fielder also singled and swiped second base in the second, but he was stranded when Heriberto Hern\u00e1ndez struck out swinging. He robbed Steven Kwan<\/a> of a base hit with a sliding grab for the final out of the third.<\/p>\n

The Michigan native who played his college ball for Central Michigan in Mount Pleasant — about 300 miles north of Cleveland — was backed by a big group of family and friends.<\/p>\n

“It’s been a long journey,” Marsee said. “To have them here is everything to me.”<\/p>\n

Marsee, 24, was brought up by Miami on Aug. 1. He reached base safely in 10 of his first 12 games, collecting 13 hits and nine walks.<\/p>\n

Following his four-hit night against Cleveland, he is batting .436 (17-for-39) with three homers, 13 RBIs and six steals in 13 games in the majors. He also has a .542 on-base percentage.<\/p>\n

“I’ve pictured myself in a lot of these moments. Dreamed about this stuff,” Marsee said, “and I just trust God.”<\/p>\n

Marsee was selected by San Diego in the sixth round of the 2022 amateur draft out of Central Michigan University. He was traded to Miami in the <\/a>Luis Arraez<\/a> deal in May 2024.<\/p>\n

He batted .246 with 14 homers, 37 RBIs and 47 steals in 98 games for Triple-A Jacksonville before he was promoted by the Marlins.<\/p>\n

Batting with two out and two runners aboard in the first on Wednesday, Marsee drove a 2-2 sweeper from Gavin Williams<\/a> deep to right to give Miami a 4-0 lead. Marsee’s second homer of the season traveled 403 feet with a 105.4 mph exit velocity.<\/p>\n

He connected for a two-run shot in the fifth against Kolby Allard<\/a>, lifting the Marlins to a 6-4 advantage. The 385-foot drive was the hardest hit ball of his career at 107.6 mph.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"CLEVELAND — Jakob Marsee is making quite the impression in his first major league action with the Miami…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":66737,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[558],"tags":[64,63,591,85],"class_list":["post-66736","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mlb","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-mlb","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/66736","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=66736"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/66736\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/66737"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=66736"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=66736"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=66736"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
