Breaking Down the Miami Marlins Rebuild and Top Prospects | Stat Stories

The Miami Marlins had a promising core of players around 2015, with an outfield consisting of Giancarlo Stanton, Christian Yelich, and Marcell Ozuna. But when the team still couldn't make the postseason (and combined with financial trouble and low attendance), new ownership decided to blow up the roster. So let's see how the Marlins are doing a few years later.

In this video, I start by looking at how the Marlins lacked impact prospects prior to the rebuild. Based on the 20-80 scouting scale, the Marlins had just 3 prospects graded at 50 or above at this time. Now in 2020, that number is quadrupled.

Most of these young players were acquired via trade (and there were a TON of trades), but the Marlins have drafted well recently and even signed some promising international free agents. With so many young players, it's tough to determine who will be locked in at spots on the MLB roster in a few years. But I look at the Marlins top 5 prospects more in depth as they seem to have the most hype surrounding them.

Perhaps the most exciting part of this rebuild, is that all 10 of the Marlins top 10 prospects are going to be at double A or triple A to start the 2020 season. This franchise is just about ready to compete.
