Fish On First Top 30 history

[Ely Sussman]

Several times throughout the year, in response to new information, recent on-field performances and player movement, the Fish On First staff revises our ranking of Miami Marlins top prospects. The table below illustrates how each player's position on the FOF Top 30 has changed from one update to the next.

Any prospect who appeared on a Top 30 list over the last 12 months is included in the table, which is sorted in alphabetical order.

• "UR" means the player was in the Marlins organization at the time, but not a Top 30 prospect
• "N/A" means the player was either not with the organization or has graduated from prospect eligibility.

Well done.

Keep your 👀 on Thomas White, Agustin Ramirez, and DLS

Why watch Ramirez moreso than Joe Mack? Mack had more total bases in fewer at bats and did so in the Southern League no less. And of course he's far better defensively! And Mack is younger.

Why watch White moreso than Snelling? He's about the same age as Snelling and hasn't thrown a single pitch in AA yet.

Why get excited about DLS? He didn't even hit in the Dominican Winter League and the whiffs are a huge problem.

Guy that I'm watching? Jacob Miller,  He;s way ahead of Noble Meyer.

My error. Mack and Ramirez had about the same number of total bases in the same number of at bats.

Fair point! With these prospects you never know how they'll turn out until they actually reach the big leagues. 

Actually, if you're referring to their 2024 totals, Ramirez had more total bases (232) in 476 at bats than Mack who had 221 total bases in slightly less at bats (472). I'd say that Agustin Ramirez has the edge right now because he has Triple A experience and has more of a minor league resume. With the defense, I agree, it's not even close that Joe Mack is better. Yes, Mack at 21 is a couple of years younger so he still has some more time to prove his worth. If I were the Marlins, I'd utilize Ramirez at 1B or DH any day rather than have him behind the plate. 

Thomas White is our #1 prospect as we speak. He showed good numbers last season but probably won't reach the majors until 2027 at least. Robby Snelling will probably get a call up to the Fish in late August or early September. My only concern is that his 2023 was great in Single A but then his 2024 was subpar to say the least in Double A. Now he's in Triple A so he could redeem himself and get back into form. If the Marlins are really out of it late in the season, I think Snelling will be on the club regardless. 

I see the power potential with DLS. He hit 40 homers and drove in 120 runs in total last season in the minors. The 144 strikeouts are concerning. Pretty much, any power hitter has strikeout problems as well. It's a given. I remember learning about "Mike" Stanton in early 2010 and having a good feeling he would get called up at some point that summer and being successful. Well, it happened, and the rest was history. I think DLS will get the callup this season. We got nothing to lose. 

Miller is promising but needs a couple more seasons at least in the minors. Same can be said for Meyer, who was just drafted last year. So far, I agree that Miller looks more promising.

I was about to text on Joe Mack. He's been steadily climbing the ladder from upper20s prospects to now a top 10. Very happy for him and hopefully he can have his cup of coffee this year.

My "underdog" prospects are Serna and Valor. Consistency is the key!

Guy that I'm watching? Kevin Defrank ,   Joe Mack AND Braxton 

funny Braxton should be in the list

Hoping Snelling is the #5 starter out of spring training.
