What makes Marlins so dangerous?

The Miami team surprised when he decided not to become a seller during the deadline for changes and their general results have exceeded all expectations about them in the season.

Upon listening Miami Marlinsmost will automatically think of the years aimless that the organization has had, the bad baseball level exhibited since their last triumph of World Seriesthe unexpected outputs of Derek Jeter and Kim Ng of the structure of the equipment, as well as any other negative aspect that could wrap a professional baseball set in the Major Leagues.

Since 2003 to date, there are few moments when you can aim towards Marlins and point them as positive aspects, so it should not be surprised that the Landepot Park, home in Miami, is one of the least assistance average has year after year, especially in 2025.

However, in recent months something seems to have changed to the internal of the organization. The team was seen as one of the main sellers of the deadline for changes and although they were involved in some movements, most of the level pieces that were understood would be moved, they stayed with the Marlins. Immediate criticism did not wait, many pointed out that, if the whole had no real plans to compete, why not continue with reconstruction.

Against any forecast, the Marlins They have been one of the most competitive teams of the last two months. Still having a negative record at the date of publication of this article, the Marlins They have the fifth best mark of MLB From the beginning of June to date. In fact, its 32 wins and 24 losses since June 1 represent the second best record for a team of the National Leagueonly behind Milwaukee Brewers (38-16), which speaks positively of how well the team has been playing.

But, What makes Marlins dangerous?

The first thing is to establish that despite the great section that the team carries, they still have a long way if they plan to enter the race for the playoffs in 2025. With a brand of 55-57, there are 6.5 games of the last qualifying position of the Wild Cards and have three teams ahead in said competition.

With this in mind, let’s talk about what the team has done. In 56 matches played since June 1, the team has effectiveness of 3.73, while averaging 7.88 strikeouts per nine inputs and an average hits and balls per ball per input launched (whip) of 1.15 in the section.

The effectiveness of Marlins It is the third best of the National League in the section and they are whip’s collids in the section, next to the Breweers.

Offensively, the team has also been well seen since that date, showing an average batting of .255, third best of the “Old circuit”, While they are sixth in PAHO (.724) since then.

Outside the competitive aspect, the most important thing for Marlins It has been to embrace its quality of underestimated. The team is automatically discarded by all as an easy victory for their opponents, but if something has shown the last series of the Marlinsin which they swept New York Yankeesit is precisely that the organization has absolutely nothing to lose right now.

There will be time to talk about reconstruction or changes in important chips, but at the moment, there are probably less equipment that has less to lose than the Marlinswho, to everyone’s surprise, are third in their division. If this is sustainable in the long term is the big question to answer.
