2026 Projections
2026 Fantasy Outlook
The Marlins made a couple offseason trades to clear a spot in the rotation for Snelling, who has nothing left to prove in the minors. The 6-foot-3 lefty has had an eventful run as a prospect, once ranking as a top 100 prospect for the Padres before his value slipped and they sold low in the Tanner Scott deadline deal in 2024. Snelling, with the Marlins help, has tinkered with his delivery and setup since the trade, culminating in his best run as a pro, logging a 1.27 ERA, 0.99 WHIP, 26.0 K-BB% and 47.9 percent groundball rate in 11 starts at Triple-A. Snelling touches 99 mph with his fastball while sitting in the 94-95 mph range. His curveball, slider and changeup are all at least above-average, and Snelling has had a walk rate below 10 percent at every stop aside from his pre-trade Texas League days. He also threw a career-high 136 innings in his age-21 season and has thrown over 100 innings three straight years. Betting on lefties with good stuff and reliable command can be a sharp move in fantasy, and drafting/acquiring Snelling before it becomes clear he's winning a rotation spot is advised.

Signed a $3 million contract with the Padres in August of 2022. Traded to the Marlins in July of 2024.
Makes statement to start spring
Snelling tossed a perfect first inning in the Marlins' Grapefruit League game against the Mets on Saturday.
Analysis
Getting the start in Miami's spring opener, Snelling faced down Marcus Semien, Juan Soto and Bo Bichette and retired them on just 10 pitches (six strikes). The young left-hander doesn't have a clear path to a spot in the Opening Day rotation following the signing of Chris Paddack, but after an astonishing close to the 2025 campaign with Triple-A Jacksonville in which he posted a 1.27 ERA, 0.98 WHIP and 81:17 K:BB over 63.2 innings, Snelling could force the Marlins to make a tough choice with a strong performance in camp.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2025
2024
The Marlins acquired Snelling as part of the deadline deal that sent Tanner Scott and Bryan Hoeing to the Padres. The 20-year-old lefty had a mediocre 10.3 K-BB% prior to the trade and had a 19.7 K-BB% with the Marlins' Double-A affiliate and then fanned seven over six innings of one-run ball in his lone Triple-A start. He has three average to above-average offerings but needs to hit his spots, particularly with his low-90s fastball. Snelling was the youngest qualified starter at Double-A and has now logged 100-plus innings in back-to-back minor-league campaigns -- an impressive feat for a pitching prospect heading into his age-21 season. Snelling is still young enough to improve his pitches and his craft, and the early returns suggest the change of scenery helped get him back on track. He'll be one of the youngest players at Triple-A in 2025 and could spend a couple months in the big-league rotation to close the year.
