He has 2 homers over his last 6 contests with us after going deep just once in his 1st 253 career games 👀 /eEbVO8QXCO- Durham Bulls 🏆🏆 June 10, 2022īeginning the season with the Shrimp, Edwards will need to find the balance between swinging harder and getting back to swinging at quality stuff that he can do something with. Xavier Edwards crushes a 3-run shot to make it 9-2! In his 93 games with Durham, he also recorded 19 doubles. He entered the 2022 season with just one career home run to his credit. However, Edwards also recorded five home runs. 246/.328/.350 while posting a career high 18.8% strikeout rate. The switch hitting Edwards has had a solid minor league career overall, hitting 300/.373/.379 over four seasons, but he didn’t fare well or nearly up to his ceiling projection against AAA pitching last year. He was a key piece in the deal that sent Blake Snell to the Padres. This was the second time the 23-year-old Edwards has been traded before making his debut. Due to the power potential, he will likely see another stint with the Marlins in the near future, but at this point, his reasonable expectation is closer to his floor rather than his ceiling.Įdwards is a Marlins’ acquisition from this offseason who came over as the main return piece from the Rays for two pitching prospects, Marcus Johnson and Santiago Suarez. Encarnacion will look to gain the rest of his polish at the AAA level to begin 2023. He began playing first base in 2021 and he has spent time there this spring on the backfields, but he needs a bit more experience to be able to quantify regular big league time at that spot. He has a good arm in the outfield but his route running is well below average. Another aspect that holds Jerar back is his defensive limitation. In his small sample with Miami, he was nearly literally homer or nothing. In his 23 games, he struck out at a 39% clip.

Overall in his time with the Marlins though, Jerar proved exactly how much swing and miss there is to his game at the next level. #MakeItMiami /ScwAqEnyJz- Miami Marlins June 19, 2022 In his first game with Miami, he did this: Leading up to his initial call up to the major leagues in June, Encarnacion was mashing, hitting.

After struggling with injury in 2021, Encarnacion got a full season in with the Blue Wahoos, Shrimp and in his major league debut with Miami in 2022. Position PlayersĮncarnacion is a 6’4” 250 huge physical specimen who has arguably the best raw power in the Marlins’ organization. For now, here is a look at some of the talent fans can expect to see during the early weeks and months of the year at Bragan Field. However, with traffic abound and aplenty at the lower levels, they will most certainly house them as the season wears on. Jacksonville will begin the 2023 season with what looks to be a roster not inclusive of many top Marlins prospects. There are some interesting omissions from the Jumbo Shrimp roster that will apparently head back to the AA level to start the year. Meet the 2023 /jP4ikKfbIr- Clayton Freeman March 29, 2023
