Organization Prospect Rankings
On the verge of being demoted to Lakeland after going 0-9, 6.35 to start the 2000 season, Maroth recovered to have a remarkably good performance at Jacksonville. He accented his strong finish by pitching well in the Arizona Fall League. Maroth has a good fastball, the best among Detroit's advanced lefthanded pitching prospects, often hitting 90 mph. He likes to work the outer half of the plate, so he hasn't pitched inside effectively to righthanders. As a result, he worked on a cut fastball in Arizona. Maroth had minor arm problems early last year, but mostly it just seemed he was in some sort of malaise. As his attitude improved, so did his results. He'll work out of Toledo's rotation to begin this season.
