The 22-year-old Connecticut native has settled into the closer role for the Beach Birds in 2022, and currently leads the Florida State League in saves with 10. Six of those saves came in August, where he recorded a blistering 0.71 ERA across 12 appearances and 2/3 innings.

Twice in the month, the righty logged three saves in four outings. The 18th Round draft pick in 2021 earned three a trio of saves from August 2-9, against Jupiter and Bradenton. He repeated the feat from August 23-31, in matchups against St. Lucie and Daytona.

Marrero allowed a batting average of just .119 across the month , while carrying a paltry 0.63 WHIP. Over the course of the season, the former UConn Huskey maintains a 1.36 ERA in 30 games.

This is Mareero's second season in Palm Beach, having reported directly to Single-A after last season's draft.
