Josh Ekness
B/T R/R · 6' 4" · 225 lb · born Albuquerque, NM, USA · age 24 · draft 2023 rd 12 · MLB debut 2026-05-03
Scout’s note
A 12th-round pick out of Albuquerque, Ekness rode a 2.73-ERA Pensacola season into the Marlins bullpen by May and has allowed one earned run in his first six MLB games. Second-highest stuff grade on our board; the fast track was earned.
The Wire
▼ On the field: Fans note Ekness got hurt on a day off and has not pitched while hoping he returns soon as a depth option.
