Connor Scott Promoted to Jupiter

CLINTON, IA (July 30, 2019) - The Clinton LumberKings, in conjunction with the Miami Marlins, have announced the promotion of outfielder Connor Scott to the High-A Jupiter Hammerheads. In a corresponding move the LumberKings received outfielder, and 2019 competitive balancing round pick, Kameron Misner.
Scott, 19, was with the LumberKings since Opening Day and was the Marlins first round pick in the 2018 MLB Draft.

At the time of his promotion he led the team in doubles, 24, hits, 95, and stolen bases, 21. On May 18^th, he was batting just .193 but went on a tear over his final 10-weeks in the Midwest League to raise his average to .251.
Misner, 21, was selected by the Miami Marlins in the 2019 MLB Draft out of the University of Missouri in the Competitive Balancing Round (35^th overall). He began his professional career with the GCL Marlins on July 21^st and played eight games with them before being promoted to the Clinton LumberKings. A Poplar Bluff, Missouri native he was originally drafted by the Kansas City Royals out of high school in 2016 in the 33^rd round but did not sign - instead electing to play college baseball at the University of Missouri.
