1. C Agustin Ramirez | 23 | AAA | 2025
Even when/if he’s not hitting, Ramirez might nonetheless be helpful for fantasy functions subsequent 12 months as a sneaky steals asset from a spot with out many steals to spare. He also needs to be enjoying each day it doesn’t matter what occurs, mixing in at Designated Hitter typically when he’s not catching. In 39 video games with the Triple-A Marlins, he slashed .262/.358/.447 with 5 dwelling runs and 4 stolen bases. He had 25 homers and 22 steals in 126 video games throughout two ranges on the season. That will look fairly good in anybody’s catcher spot.
2. 3B Deyvison De Los Santos | 21 | AAA | 2025
We might quibble with how he will get it performed and the way he’ll handle in Miami, however the backside line, the dentist hit 40 dwelling runs this season throughout two ranges for 2 organizations enjoying nearly solely in opposition to a lot older gamers and slashing .294/.343/.571 with 120 RBI. Storm cloud coming in, he did hit .240 with a 284 on base share in 50 video games with the fish, who’ve, let’s say, struggled to develop hitters in home.
3. LHP Thomas White | 20 | A+ | 2026
In 13 Excessive-A begins overlaying 62 innings, White recorded a 2.61 ERA and 1.16 WHIP in opposition to rivals who have been, on common, 4.1 years his senior, the equal of a faculty freshman hitting the job market in opposition to faculty graduates and first-year professionals. At 6’5” 210 lbs, White wields the form of stuff that might work in opposition to anyone: a mid-90’s fastball, a picturesque curve and disappearing changeup. It’s particularly perilous for left-handed hitters, and as Blake Snell has confirmed, in case you can eradicate lefties, you’re means forward earlier than the sport begins.
4. LHP Robby Snelling | 21 | AAA | 2025
Snelling was higher with Miami than he had been with San Diego, posting a 2.92 FIP and 20.3 p.c strikeout-minus-walk charge in eight begins overlaying 42 innings throughout two ranges. His closing begin of the season was additionally his Triple-A debut. He allowed one run on seven hits throughout six innings whereas recording seven strikeouts in opposition to one stroll. To date in his profession, he’s offered a reasonably customary look from the left aspect with spotty command of a three-pitch arsenal (fastball, slider, changeup), however I’d anticipate that changeup to come back alongside in Miami and his steadiness (and command) to enhance by way of repetition, instruction and athleticism. Lefties come alongside a little bit later, partly as a result of they don’t run right into a left-handed pitching coach (or teammate who can assist) till later of their lives and don’t face many high quality left-handed hitters till they attain faculty, or in Snelling’s case, the professionals.
5. RHP Noble Meyer | 20 | A+ | 2026
The tenth general decide in 2023, Meyer’s 2024 numbers needs to be seen by way of the identical age-to-level prism as White’s. His 5.18 ERA and 1.43 WHIP in 40 Excessive-A innings aren’t the prettiest sight on the baseball card, however his stuff was adequate to compete with a lot older males, and his supply is easy sufficient you can map on important enchancment in command throughout time. He’s at present received three choices in his fastball, slider and changeup, and it’s truthful to anticipate the changeup to make a leap or two in a company with a monitor file of serving to pitchers maximize their cambios.
6. 2B OF Javier Sanoja | 22 | MLB | 2024
Right here’s what I wrote about Sanoja the opposite day in Prospect Information: Tong In The Hearth or The Factor Is, Dominguez . . .
“Marlins 2B Javier Sanoja (22) joined the massive membership at this time within the wake of an harm to Jose Devers. Sanoja has earned this promotion in his personal proper by slashing .291/.354/.431 with an unbelievable 8.9-to-6.1 p.c walk-to-strikeout charge. A right-handed hitter listed at 5’7” 150 lbs, Sanoja has seven dwelling runs and 17 steals in 126 video games throughout two ranges, so he’s not precisely an excellent match for our recreation, however the Marlins have been onto one thing after they prioritized the powerful at bats a man like Luis Arraez can present, so possibly they’ll give Sanoja a superb lengthy look between this 12 months and subsequent.”
Since then (September 8, 2024), Sanoja has hit .258 with a 65 wRC+ in 14 main league video games, so it’s not going nice simply but, however Sanoja goes to be a part of the image subsequent 12 months, and that’s price one thing in deep leagues.
7. OF Dillon Head | 20 | A | 2028
The twenty third general decide by San Diego in 2023, Head was despatched to Miami together with Robby Snelling, Adam Mazur, Graham Pauley and Jay Beshears within the deal for Bryan Hoeing and Tanner Scott. There’s not a lot to see within the numbers, as Head has battled accidents and had left hip femoral acetabular impingement surgical procedure to finish his season in 2024. If he can return to full well being, he’s a dynamic outfielder with double-plus pace and energy projection obvious on his six-foot 185-pound body.
8. OF PJ Morlando | 19 | A | 2028
The sixteenth general decide in 2024, Morlando misplaced his first professional season to a again harm in August however retains the upside of a 6’3” 198 lb left-handed energy hitting nook outfielder who might faux middle in a pinch.
9. OF Andres Valor | 19 | CPX | 2028
A right-handed hitter at 6’3” 180 lbs, Valor has generated optimistic outcomes (116, 119 wRC+) in back-to-back ranges (DSL, CPX) regardless of battling some mild strikeout points (24.1%, 25.1%). The important thing particulars for our recreation are that Valor stole 35 bases in 39 makes an attempt and slashed .289/.374/.421. This rating may wind up too low. Valor has an actual shot to high this checklist subsequent 12 months.
10. 2B Jared Serna | 22 | AAA | 2025
Acquired within the Jazz Chisholm commerce together with C Agustin Ramirez and SS Abrahan Ramirez, Serna’s a 5’7” center infielder who ought to get an opportunity to indicate what he’s received on the highest stage in the summertime of 2025. A plus defender at second who’s satisfactory at shortstop, Serna has performed all around the area and can most likely do the identical in his rookie season. He wasn’t excellent in 39 video games with Double-A Pensacola (.266/.343/.390), however that was sufficient for the fish to advertise Serna to Triple-A for six video games to shut out the season.
Thanks for studying!
