Kevin Barral of Fish On First <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/kevin_barral\/status\/2117766345882276194?s=20\" rel=\"nofollow\">suggests<\/a> that the 25-year-old is likely to pursue an overseas opportunity. Miami\u2019s 40-man roster tally drops to 35.<\/p>\n<p>Blalock spent one season in South Florida. The Marlins acquired him from the Rockies in January. Blalock made four MLB appearances in a mop-up role, allowing seven runs in 11 1\/3 innings. He spent the rest of the season working as a starting pitcher with Triple-A Jacksonville. Blalock pitched 110 frames with a 5.56 ERA in the minors. He recorded roughly average strikeout (21.2%), walk (9.5%), and ground-ball (46.5%) marks.<\/p>\n<p>A former 32nd round draft pick, Blalock has pitched parts of three seasons in MLB. He has allowed nearly eight earned runs per nine innings across 100 2\/3 career frames. The 6\u20192\u2033 righty also has an unimpressive 6.53 ERA at the Triple-A level, but some of that is driven by a nightmare season in the extremely hitter-friendly setting with the Rox\u2019s affiliate in Albuquerque. Blalock throws seven pitches and averaged 96 mph with his fastball during his MLB work this year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Marlins released right-hander Bradley Blalock, according to the MLB.com transaction tracker.
