In case Roki Sasaki decided to come to the United States at the end of the 2024 international signing period, the Yankees held onto some bonus pool money and even acquired some extra cash from the Red Sox in the December Carlos Narvaez trade. When Sasaki decided to wait until this year, New York used the $1.65 million it had saved to sign Marinez, who had planned to wait to turn pro in 2025, six days after the Narvaez deal. He has similar tools to fellow Dominican shortstop Mani Cedeno, the Yankees' top international signee in this year's class.
Though he'll need to add significant strength before he makes much impact at the plate, Marinez has an efficient left-handed swing and a patient approach. He rarely turns on pitches and most of his contact goes to the opposite field, but club officials believe he should grow into at least 15-homer power. He has outperformed Cedeno, who signed for $2.5 million, in the Rookie-level Dominican Summer League this summer.
Marinez features plus speed and has shown basestealing aptitude in his pro debut. His quickness allows him to cover ground at shortstop and his solid to plus arm strength also helps him make plays. Like most young infielders, he needs more defensive consistency.
