Recently, I spoke with the switch-hitter about his success at the top of the order that has him batting .327 overall in 27 contests for the BlueClaws.
-Marrero offered his thoughts on being successful at the plate...
It's working early. I've been getting good pitches to hit and it's been fun, you know?
-Speaking on what has contributed to the increased production (batted .182 at the same level last season)...
Yes, I work a lot with (hitting coach Nelson) Prada on hitting line drives and staying in the game.
-Commenting on if anyone else has been of considerable help with the improvements he has made...
I played winter ball in Puerto Rico and I worked with the hitting coach over there. We worked a lot every day. And I keep working here on the same things I worked on in Puerto Rico.
-Talking about what player he looked up to most and wanted to emulate as a youngster...
Roberto Alomar, because he's a switch hitter like me and he's from Puerto Rico. He played infield too. I saw him play on TV, but I never saw him play in real life.
-Remarks about playing in New Jersey...
It's cold here, but we have to play through it. I like it here. I like the fans. They're always in the games and we play very hard for them here.
