It\u2019s a lengthy and loaded list, as it includes Tommy White and Robby Snelling, arguably the Marlins\u2019 two best pitching prospects.<\/p>\n<p>The prospects<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The big name among the Marlins\u2019 non-roster invites is <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/search\/search.fcgi?pid=white-014tho,white-013tho&amp;search=Thomas+White&amp;utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=newbaseballmedia.com&amp;utm_campaign=2026-01-30_br\">Thomas White<\/a>, a 2023 first-round pick who is arguably the best prospect in the system.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Between three levels, White struck out 145 batters over 89.2 IP. The left-hander also ranked either at the top or near it, in terms of swing-and-miss, in both the <a href=\"https:\/\/newbaseballmedia.com\/looking-at-the-numbers-for-the-2025-midwest-league\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Midwest League<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/newbaseballmedia.com\/looking-at-numbers-from-the-2025-southern-league\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Southern League<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">White\u2019s fastball is a tremendous asset. It\u2019s a pitch that\u2019ll sit 94-95 MPH but White can run it up to 97-98 MPH if need be, and it gets swing-and-miss. Aside from that offering, White will work with a changeup that sat in the mid-to-high-80s, plus a slider and a sweeper.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"828\" height=\"466\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/f97ac45e-3f037c75-724c3548-csvm-diamondgcp-asset_1280x720_59_4000K.gif\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-53812\"\/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Marlins will also bring two of their other big-name pitching prospects, <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/register\/player.fcgi?id=snelli000rob&amp;utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=newbaseballmedia.com&amp;utm_campaign=2026-01-30_br\">Robby Snelling<\/a> and <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/register\/player.fcgi?id=milbra000kar&amp;utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=newbaseballmedia.com&amp;utm_campaign=2026-01-30_br\">Karson Milbrandt<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Snelling, <a href=\"https:\/\/newbaseballmedia.com\/padres-acquire-tanner-scott-from-marlins-what-to-make-of-trade\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">acquired<\/a> from the Padres in 2024, had a very good bounce-back season in 2025. The 22-year-old left-hander struck out 166 batters over 136 combined innings between Double-A and Triple-A last season. He did his finest work in Triple-A, as Snelling struck out 81 over 63.2 IP and a 33.9% Whiff% that ranked among the top-ten in the <a href=\"https:\/\/newbaseballmedia.com\/looking-at-numbers-from-the-2025-international-league\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">International League<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A four-pitch pitcher, opposing batters had a hard time squaring Snelling up.
