gold star for USAHOF

27. Brian Anderson

A former Arizona Razorback, Brian Anderson, has played the first six years of his career with the Miami Marlins, debuting in 2017 for 25 Games, keeping his rookie eligibility intact for the following year.  Anderson did enough in 2017 to win the starting Third Base job, and he would be fourth in Rookie of the Year voting with a 161 Hits, 11 Home Runs and a .273 Batting Average.

Anderson had 20 Home Runs in 2019 with a .801 OPS, but a fractured metacarpal prematurely ended his year.  Since that season, Anderson has struggled with injuries and was held to only 67 Games in 2021 and 98 Games in 2022.

Following the 2022 campaign, Anderson signed with the Mileaukee Brewers as a Free Agent, leaving behind 487 Hits as a Marlin.

A very good control Pitcher who would lead the National League in BB/9 in 1998, Brian Anderson was the second pick in the 1997 Expansion Draft and an original Arizona Diamondback.  Anderson would go 41-42 for Arizona predominantly as a Starting Pitcher and later was a member of the 2001 World Series Championship Team.
