Jacob Turner will make his Marlins debut on Wednesday

Jacob Turner, who was recently acquired with Rob Brantly and Brian Flynn from the Detroit Tigers for Miami Marlins’ second baseman Omar Infante and starter Anibal Sanchez on July 23, will make his Marlins debut on game one of Wednesday’s doubleheader.

Turner, 21, is the best prospect the Miami Marlins have right now. He’s 2-0 in five games with an ERA of 1.98 with the New Orlean Zephyrs (Marlins’ triple-a).

In his entire career in the minors, he’s 17-14 with an ERA of 3.12 in 62 games started and also has struck out 285 batters.

Jacob Turner has only started six games in the majors with the Detroit Tigers and those numbers aren’t good. Turner is 1-2 with a ERA of 8.28 in the majors.

Despite those numbers, he will be good. If he pitches good on Wednesday, he’ll stay in the bigs.
