The Marlins reassigned Bleday to their minor-league camp Tuesday, Joe Frisaro of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The No. 4 overall pick in the 2019 first-year player draft will presumably open his first full season in the minors at High-A Jupiter, where he reported last summer shortly after signing with the Marlins. After showcasing impressive power in his final season of college at Vanderbilt, Bleday turned in a meager .121 ISO over 151 plate appearances in the Florida State League in 2019.

Bleday will join the Marlins' big-league camp this spring.

EDGE Analysis

The fourth-overall pick in the 2019 draft, Bleday spent the entirety of his first professional campaign with High-A Jupiter, hitting .257/.311/.379. He won't break camp with the team and is unlikely to make his big-league debut this year, but he has a chance to move up quickly as a college draftee with an advanced feel for the zone.

Bleday went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run for High-A Jupiter on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

The fourth overall pick in this year's draft has had little difficulty adjusting to pro ball despite an aggressive assignment to the Florida State League -- Bleday's gone 4-for-13 in his first three games for Jupiter, with Monday's homer being his first. The 21-year-old will likely stay at High-A for the rest of the season unless he completely dominates, but a 2020 or early 2021 big-league debut is very much on the table.

Bleday will make his professional debut with High-A Jupiter on Saturday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

The fourth overall pick in this year's draft, Bleday has the potential to be a power bat in the middle of a big-league order. Skipping short-season ball and Low-A ball entirely indicates that the Marlins hope to have him on the fast track to the big leagues. Given how many levels he's jumping over, some brief initial struggles wouldn't come as too much of a surprise and shouldn't severely damage his prospect profile.

Bleday was scheduled to talk with the Marlins by phone Thursday night as contract talks begin in earnest, Joe Frisaro of MLB.com reports. "Everything has been cordial," president of baseball operations Michael Hill said Thursday. "We're hopeful we can work through it quickly, and get him out playing."

EDGE Analysis

The fourth overall pick in the 2019 draft has been busy helping Vanderbilt win the College World Series, but with his collegiate career ending on the highest possible note, look for Bleday to put pen to paper and get started as a professional. The organization may elect to have him get his feet wet in rookie ball for a few games, but his advanced approach at the plate and prodigious power could put him in High-A before the season is over.
