SCOUTING REPORT: A lean, 6-foot-6, 185-pound lefthander, Rogers has worked to add strength and velocity to his low- to mid-90s fastball, which tops out at 96 mph. He has thrown both a changeup and slider in the past, with both grading out as average offerings but showing the potential for more. He's recently worked on adding a cutter to his arsenal, looking to find a go-to offspeed pitch in order to increase his strikeout rate. Rogers has a fluid delivery, and his control took a positive step forward in 2019 as he walked fewer than two batters per nine innings in 18 starts with high Class A Jupiter.
THE FUTURE: After getting a taste of Double-A, Rogers should return to the level to begin 2020. Possessing the likely ceiling of a mid- or back-end starter, Rogers could find himself in the Marlins' rotation as soon as 2021.
