BP Annual Player Comments

YearComment
2017 Journeyman lefty Justin Marks captured rare glory when he threw a 130-pitch no-hitter for Durham last season. He’ll likely have a chance to duplicate the feat next season, when he’ll be pitching for his fifth different Triple-A ballclub.
2011 A second-round pick in 2009, lefty Justin Marks has solid stuff, good control, and therefore a fighter's chance.
