Sean Christopher Marshall (b. August 30, 1982 in Richmond, Virginia) is a Major League Baseball left-handed pitcher for the Chicago Cubs. After three minor league seasons, Marshall was added to the Cubs 40-man roster in November, 2005. He made his major league debut against the St. Louis Cardinals on April 9, 2006, earning a no-decision. In that game, he yielded a two-run homer to Scott Rolen in the first inning before settling down to pitch solidly for 4+ innings. The Cubs trailed 4-3, in the late innings but rallied to win on a Michael Barrett grand slam in the eighth inning. He earned his first major league win on April 14, 2006 against the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Marshall graduated from Manchester High School in Midlothian, Virginia, in 2000. He attended Virginia Commonwealth University, and was drafted by the Cubs in the sixth round of the 2003 Major League Baseball Draft. Marshall's twin brother Brian also plays baseball, and was taken in the fifth round of the same draft by the Boston Red Sox.
Marshall was fighting for the 5th starting pitcher spot for the 2007 Chicago Cubs organization. After rehabbing from a torn rotator cuff he will start the season in Des Moines Iowa with the AAA affiliate.
