Jakob Marsee Impresses with the Marlins: Two-Run Homer and RBI Record
Jakob Marsee is making a splash in his debut in the Major Leagues with the Miami Marlins, proving his worth from the start. Marsee connected two home runs and tied a franchise record with seven RBIs in Miami’s 13-4 victory against Cleveland on Wednesday night. His performance included a three-run homer in the first inning, a two-run hit to break the tie in the fifth, and a two-run double in the sixth. The last player to drive in seven runs for the Marlins was Adam Duvall on April 13, 2021, in Atlanta.In addition to his home runs, the speedy center fielder singled and stole second base in the second inning, although he was stranded. He also prevented a hit by Steven Kwan with a diving catch in the bottom of the third inning. Marsee, originally from Michigan, who played in college for Central Michigan, had the support of his family and friends.It’s obviously an honor and something super special. But, in reality, that doesn’t matter much to me. I just want to win, so I’ll do anything to help the team win.
