Baseball Almanac Top Quote

"He (Rafael Marchan) throws the ball extremely well, physically he’s good, he swings the bat well from both sides of the plate, he blocks well, but the thing that jumps out at me is how well he calls a game, how studious he is, how well he understands pitch sequencing, how he’s able to read batters and how quickly he applies it all in a game. He’s ahead of the curve for his age." - Pat Borders in Baseball America (Jim Salisbury, Rafael Marchan Shows Promise Behind The Plate, 03/28/2019)

Rafael Alejandro Marchan is an active Major League Baseball player with the Philadelphia Phillies (2020-today). Marchan — a shortstop — was signed as an international free agent in 2015, for a $200,000 signing bonus, but the Phils converted him into a catcher after sending him to their farm system.

Did you know that when Rafael Marchan homered on September 18, 2020, during the fourth inning, in Citizens Bank Park, off Blue Jays righty A.J. Cole, it was the first professional — major league or minor league — home run of his career? During the post game press conference Joe Girardi said, "It really is pretty amazing that your first home run is in the big leagues. I can understand if you sign as a college player and you go straight to the big leagues, your first homer is going to be in the big leagues, but it's really incredible what he did yesterday."
