gold star for USAHOF

Yes, we know that this is taking a while!

As many of you know, we here at Notinhalloffame.com are slowly generating the 50 of each major North American sports team.  That being said, we have existing Top 50 lists out and we always consistently look to update them when we can and based on necessity.  As such, we are very happy to present our post 2022 revision of our top 50 Miami Marlins.

As for all of our top 50 players in baseball we look at the following:

1.  Advanced Statistics.

2.  Traditional statistics and how they finished in the National League.

3.  Playoff accomplishments.

4.  Their overall impact on the team and other intangibles not reflected in a stat sheet.

Last year, the Marlins were not able to make the playoffs, and we had one new entrant and one huge ranking jump.

As always, we present our top five, which was not affected by the last season:

1. Giancarlo Stanton

2. Hanley Ramirez

3. Josh Johnson

4. Luis Castillo

5. Miguel Cabrera

You can find the entire list here.

Cy Young winner, Sandy Alcantara had a monstrous jump from #30 to #7.

Third Baseman, Brian Anderson, moved up from #31 to #29.

Pitcher, Pablo Lopez, who is now with the Minnesota Twins, climbed from #49 to #32.

Jon Berti is the only debut, and he enters at #48.

We welcome your input and comments and as always, we thank you for your support.

34. Jon Berti

Jon Berti was taken with the Toronto Blue Jays in the 19th Round in 2011, but despite his low selection, he eventually made it to the Majors, appearing in four Games for Toronto in 2018.  He was a Free Agent after, and was signed to a Minor League deal by the Miami Marlins.

Berti proved valuable with his defensive versatility, and the Marlins used him in the Outfield, Third and Second.  A light hitter, Berti showed speed, and he with increased playing time, he won the National League Stolen Base Title (41), and is arguably the most unlikely winner in this category in NL history.   After another season in Florida (the only one where we had over 100 Hits),  he was traded to the Yankees.

Berti would have 350 Hits and 91 Stolen Bases as a Marlin.
