Scouting Report

Scouting grades: Hit: 50 | Power: 40 | Run: 55 | Arm: 40 | Field: 50 | Overall: 40

In a Marlins' 2024 Draft class filled with prospects hailed for their bat-to-ball skills as amateurs, Trimble stands out as the club's best selection as a fourth-rounder who signed for a below-slot $550,000. After amassing high OBPs with few strikeouts at James Madison, he carried that over to pro ball. Trimble reached Double-A in his first full season and slashed .253/.372/.402 between three levels in his age-22 season. Although he missed two months with a strained hamstring, he made up for lost time with a strong Arizona Fall League performance. 

While he doesn't have any single standout tool, Trimble is above average in many aspects of the game. Chiefly, he does a lot of the small things quite well. Trimble makes good swing decisions, takes his walks and rarely whiffs. Pitchers haven't found an easy way to get him out, and he proved even more disciplined against more advanced pitching. But while his swing is smooth, he doesn't offer a ton of bat speed. Until he can elevate the ball more, there are questions about his ability to hit more than 10-15 homers in a season.

Trimble uses his above-average speed well on the bases to leg out hits and take extra bases. He's a solid athlete on defense who has a chance to stick in center and could be very good in left, even if his arm strength is fringy at best. Trimble is a well-rounded prospect who is quite likely to be a Major Leaguer, even if he may top out as a fourth outfielder.

Scouting grades: Hit: 50 | Power: 40 | Run: 55 | Arm: 40 | Field: 50 | Overall: 40

The Marlins targeted bat-to-ball skills in the 2024 Draft, using four of their first five picks on players who stood out with that attribute. That included spending their fourth-rounder on Trimble, who slashed .369/.452/.635 with an 8.1 percent strikeout rate as a junior at James Madison. He reached Double-A six weeks into his first full pro season but injured his hamstring shortly afterward and missed two months.

Trimble has a disciplined approach and focuses on making line-drive contact from gap to gap. A right-handed hitter, he draws his share of walks and hangs in well against same-side pitching, profiling more as an on-base guy than a power source. His strength and bat speed are average at best, and he rarely turns on pitches or launches them in the air, so he'll likely top out at 10-15 homers per season.

Trimble has solid speed, will show quicker run times on occasion and has good feel for stealing bases. He has divided 2025 between all three outfield spots, displaying average range in center field and playing solid defense on the corners. His below-average arm could relegate him to left field.
