Organization Prospect Rankings

Undrafted out of Drury (Mo.), Richards spent nearly two seasons pitching for Gateway in the independent Frontier League before signing with the Marlins as a free agent in July 2016. Since joining the organization, Richards has proved he belongs. During the 2017 season he made 25 starts at high Class A Jupiter and Double-A Jacksonville and finished 12-11, 2.53 with 158 strikeouts in 146 innings. He claimed the organization's pitcher of the year award. Line one with Richards is his stellar changeup, which at least one evaluator proclaimed to be a plus-plus pitch and the best in the organization. He can use his changeup as a true swing-and-miss pitch against both righthanded and lefthanded hitters, which has led him to a career strikeout rate of 9.5 per nine innings. Richards' fastball sits mostly 90-91 mph but can touch 94 at times. His fastball also plays up, in part due to the threat of his changeup, but also because of a deceptive delivery that can mess with hitters. Richards uses a fringe-average curveball as a third pitch. He shows above-average command, working his fastball to both sides of the plate and spotting his changeup down in the zone consistently. Richards should see time at Triple-A New Orleans om 2018. He turns 25 in 2018, but if he can improve his curveball then he has a chance to become a back-of-the-rotation starter. If not, he could excel as a long reliever, relying on his fastball-changeup combination to navigate a big league lineup.
