Scouting Report: Nick Schnell
San Diego Padres | RF
Overall
Summary
Robby Snelling, the Miami Marlins' No. 2 pitching prospect (ranked 29-33rd overall in baseball), was placed on the 15-day injured list with a UCL sprain in his left elbow after just one major league start. The 22-year-old left-hander made his MLB debut on May 8 against the Washington Nationals, allowing three earned runs over five innings while walking four batters. He reported discomfort following a between-starts bullpen session on May 13. Further evaluation is scheduled for the following week, with the possibility of requiring surgery. UCL sprains often precede Tommy John surgery, though some pitchers recover without surgery after extended rehabilitation.
Strengths
- Dominated at Triple-A Jacksonville with 1.86 ERA over six starts
- 44 strikeouts in 29 innings at Triple-A (40% strikeout rate)
