Career[]
San Diego Padres[]
On July 2, 2016, Marcano signed with the San Diego Padres as an international free agent.[1] Marcano made his professional debut in 2017 with the Dominican Summer League Padres, slashing .206/.337/.353 in 49 games.[2] In 2018, Marcano split the season between the AZL Padres and the Low-A Tri-City Dust Devils, accumulating a .366/.450/.438 slash line with 1 home run and 26 RBI. The following season, Marcano played with the Single-A Fort Wayne TinCaps, hitting .270/.323/.337 with 2 home runs and 45 RBI in 111 games with the team.[3] Marcano did not play in a game in 2020 due to the cancellation of the minor league season because of the COVID-19 pandemic.[4] The Padres added him to their 40-man roster after the 2020 season.[5]
On April 1, 2021, Marcano made his MLB debut as a pinch hitter for Keone Kela, and drew a walk against Stefan Crichton of the Arizona Diamondbacks.[6] On April 6, Marcano collected his first major league hit, a single off of San Francisco Giants reliever Wandy Peralta.[7] After going 2-for-12 with an RBI in 10 games for the Padres, Marcano was optioned off the roster[8] and assigned to the Triple-A El Paso Chihuahuas to begin the minor league season.
Pittsburgh Pirates[]
On July 26, 2021, Marcano was traded to the Pittsburgh Pirates along with Jack Suwinski and Michell Miliano in exchange for Adam Frazier.[9]
