Analysis
Marchand is a 6-foot-2 prep star who flashed incredible athleticism en route to multiple state championships in South Carolina. He was announced as a shortstop, but it's uncertain where he will end up long term. Marchand should be viewed as a developmental project for the Tampa Bay organization.
