2026 spring training leaderboards: Max pitch velocity, exit velocity for Marlins players

[Ely Sussman]

In the not-too-distant past, we tried to find statistical significance within the results of Miami Marlins spring training games. It simply isn't there. Regardless of whether somebody's wRC+ or FIP dips below zero, expectations for their regular season performance should be unaffected.

It is premature to say that universal access to spring training Statcast data changes anything. However, in a world where players practically work year-round to maximize how hard they hit and throw the ball, maybe we could learn something from monitoring that.

Every Marlins player will be added to the tables below once they appear in a Grapefruit League game (more than 100 players in all). The cells are shaded red for any player whose max exit/pitch velocity has exceeded their 2025 season-high in that category. I used "N/A" for players who had little or no playing time in Statcast-tracked environments last year. A baby emoji indicates that the player has been assigned to minor league camp throughout spring training.

These leaderboards will be updated daily.

Because that felt like an awful trade to me (Weathers), he bears watching. 1H, 0 W, and 5 K yesterday ... for the damn Yankees!

Because it also felt like an awful trade to me (Cabrera), he'll also bear watching. He hasn't thrown yet, but Caissie is almost perfect with the whiffs.

Thank you so much for this page.  It saves me a ton of time.  I love it!

Cabrera pitched 2 innings no hits no walks 3 strikeouts

Weathers - Cabrera for Lewis - Cassie. Disliked it from the get go and it just looks worse so far, but it's early (haha)

It is early, indeed. I don't find it necessary to hope traded players fail - that's bad karma - but frankly, Cabrera's injury proclivity was the factor for me. I figure about five starts before there is an issue. Weathers, same thing. To my mind, physical injury issues just follow players, keeping them from gaining career traction and adding them to the what-might-have-been discussions between fans. As always, we will see, especially in the context of "winning a trade."  Cheers.
