Misner was considered one of the top prospects for the 2019 Major League Baseball draft.[12] He was selected by the Miami Marlins with the 35th overall pick,[13] and signed with them for $2.1 million.[14] Misner made his professional debut with the Gulf Coast Marlins and, after eight games, was promoted to the Clinton LumberKings.[15] Over 42 games between the two clubs, he batted .270/.388/.362 with two home runs and 24 RBIs.[16]
