The Marlins' president expressed excitement about drafting the best college position player in the draft. Arquette demonstrates a blend of current performance and future potential, making him a significant asset for the team's future prospects.
Very excited right now because we just drafted the best college position player in the draft.
He's a guy who can do a lot of different things - somebody that really is exactly what we were looking for and hoping for in this draft.
This is a player we're extremely excited about that has both performance presently in college and upside.
All of us here just couldn't be more thrilled.
