Christian Yelich, 21, is having an impressive spring with the Marlins.
The 23rd overall pick in 2010, he has a team-leading four home runs and 12 RBI, a .359 average and a 1.251 OPS.
The organizational plan calls for the outfielder to begin this season with Double-A Jacksonville, but he appears to be on the fast track.
"He's just a natural-born hitter," Tino Martinez said. "It doesn't matter if he's facing rookies or guys who've played six or eight years. He knows what he's doing and has a great game plan up there. There's nothing fancy about him. He just hits."
