Midwest Future Games Profile: Marquise Doherty from Winnetonka
July 17, 2013
Marquise Doherty, OF, Winnetonka
Doherty was the top overall athlete of the KC Preseason Showcase, and a player who we look forward to seeing a lot of over the next few years. His body is mature for a player of his age (6-foot-1, 195) and also has advanced ability.
In the outfield, he shows quick footwork and athletic actions to the baseball, with a quick, clean exchange while playing through the ball. His top throw was 85-mph, but there is more in the tank.
Offensively, Doherty has extremely quick hands, with a level swing and extension through contact. The ball jumps off his bat and he looks to be a power threat. Doherty is an elite level player with power at the plate and speed (6.59 60) with the makings of being a top-level prospect.
