With the sixth pick in the 2022 MLB Draft, the Miami Marlins selected Jacob Berry, a third baseman/outfielder out of LSU.
Berry has the bat to be an impact player at the major-league level. However, his defense is questionable. As a result, a move across the diamond to first base might be in his future.
