Deven Marrero

He played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Boston Red Sox, Arizona Diamondbacks, Miami Marlins and New York Mets.

In the 2011 season, he was named the Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Year and earned a spot on the All-Conference first team, all while hitting a .313 average.

[5] Marrero began his professional career in 2012 with Single-A Lowell Spinners of the New York–Penn League, where he posted a .268/.358/.374 slash line with 19 extra-base hits, 45 runs and 24 stolen bases in 64 games.

[6] He began the 2013 season with the Salem Red Sox and was promoted to the AA Portland Sea Dogs after hitting .256 over 85 games.

[1] Marrero began the 2014 season with Portland and, after hitting .291 over 68 games, he was promoted to the AAA Pawtucket Red Sox.

[8] He made his major league debut against the Tampa Bay Rays on June 28 at second base after Mike Napoli was ejected in the second inning.

[9] Marrero hit his first major league home run off of Caleb Cotham of the New York Yankees on September 28, 2015.

[11] On August 24, 2017, Marrero was optioned to Triple-A Pawtucket after the Red Sox acquired Rajai Davis from the Oakland Athletics.

[12] During the 2017 season, Marrero played in 71 games for the Red Sox, hitting four home runs with 27 RBIs and a .211 batting average.

[13] In his three years with the Red Sox, Marrero appeared in a total of 109 regular season games, batting .208 with five home runs and 30 RBIs.

[15] With the Diamondbacks, Marrero was involved in a rare occurrence on April 14—in a game against the Los Angeles Dodgers, he hit a ball over the left-center outfield fence with two men on base, but was ruled out for passing the runner at first base (Alex Avila); as a result, Marrero was credited with a single and two RBIs, rather than a home run and three RBIs.

[21] On June 16, Marrero was selected to the active roster and made his season debut that day as the starting third baseman against the St. Louis Cardinals, going 0-for-3.

[40] He went hitless in six at–bats across five games for the Mets, and was designated for assignment again on September 12 after Luis Guillorme was activated off of the injured list.
