He’s built like an NFL linebacker, but he’s getting ready to make a living as a Major League Baseball pitcher. That describes the career path of standout baseball pitcher Chandler Marsh, a 2021 Wellington High School graduate.
Marsh, who just finished his junior year at the University of Georgia, was a star pitcher for the Bulldogs’ baseball team this past spring. He will now take his baseball talents to the next level as a professional player, having just signed a minor league free-agent contract with the New York Mets organization on July 16.
Marsh, a six-foot-five, 240-pound right-handed pitcher, compiled a 7-2 career record at WHS, where he had a 1.81 earned run average (ERA) and recorded 107 strikeouts in 72 innings pitched.
In college at the University of Georgia, Marsh had a 7-4 win-loss record with a 5.05 ERA in 59 appearances. In his 76.2 innings pitched at the University of Georgia, Marsh had 111 strikeouts. While at Georgia, Marsh was a three-time member of the Southeastern Conference (SEC) Academic Honor Roll.
Marsh will begin his professional baseball-playing career for the St. Lucie Mets, the single-A affiliate of the New York Mets, which are based in Port Saint Lucie.
