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. The italicized names are currently ranked "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 "HM" means the player was an honorable mention who just missed cracking the list Name October 2025 January 2026 April 2026 June 2026 August 2026 October 2026 Maximo Acosta 12 15 17 UR UR UR Kemp Alderman 8 10 8 9 12 13 Luis Arana 26 UR UR 17 18 17 Aiva Arquette 4 7 7 4 6 5 Emilio Barreras UR UR UR 28 UR UR Nigel Belgrave 25 UR UR UR UR UR Keyner Benitez 17 21 19 22 23 24 Starlyn Caba 9 8 6 7 7 7 Owen Caissie N/A 4 N/A N/A N/A N/A Cam Cannarella 14 14 11 5 4 3 Connor Caskenette UR UR UR HM UR UR Brandon Compton N/A 29 25 19 13 10 Luis Cova 10 12 12 10 HM 29 Edgardo De Leon N/A UR UR 26 UR UR Carlos De Los Santos N/A UR UR UR HM UR Deyvison De Los Santos 23 28 UR UR UR UR Kevin Defrank 5 6 4 8 8 9 Eliazar Dishmey 15 18 15 14 11 8 Josh Ekness 22 27 20 23 24 N/A Drew Faurot 28 UR UR UR UR UR Raunny Figueredo N/A UR UR UR 29 30 Payton Green UR UR 28 UR UR UR Eric Guevara N/A N/A N/A N/A UR HM Dillon Head 8 9 9 11 10 14 Cristian Hernández N/A 23 24 18 20 18 Ryan Ignoffo 29 UR UR UR UR UR Carter Johnson UR UR UR HM 30 UR Brendan Jones N/A 17 14 13 14 15 Jacob Kisting N/A N/A N/A N/A HM 25 Ethan Kleinschmit N/A N/A N/A N/A 27 27 Luis León UR UR UR 27 UR UR Dillon Lewis N/A 5 5 3 5 6 Jacob Lombard N/A N/A N/A N/A 3 4 Jonathon Long N/A N/A N/A N/A 26 26 Joe Mack 2 2 3 N/A N/A N/A Liomar Martínez 27 UR UR UR UR UR Juan Matheus N/A 30 29 21 22 23 Aiden May UR UR HM 29 N/A N/A Julio Mendez UR UR UR UR UR HM Noble Meyer 18 22 27 30 UR UR Karson Milbrandt 13 13 10 6 9 11 Gage Miller UR UR UR HM HM UR PJ Morlando 16 26 26 UR UR UR Ronny Muñoz N/A HM HM UR UR UR Nate Payne UR UR 30 24 25 21 Ryan Peterson N/A N/A N/A N/A UR HM Andrew Salas 6 11 13 15 19 20 Adrian Santana N/A N/A N/A N/A HM UR Jared Serna 24 UR UR UR UR UR Robby Snelling 3 3 3 2 2 2 Santiago Solarte N/A 20 18 16 16 12 Brayden Taylor N/A N/A N/A N/A 15 19 Fenwick Trimble 20 19 16 12 17 16 Esmil Valencia 19 24 23 UR UR UR Andrés Valor 11 16 22 UR 28 28 Echedry Vargas UR UR UR HM HM UR Brandon White UR UR UR 20 21 HM Josh White 21 25 21 25 UR UR Thomas White 1 1 1 1 1 1 Max Williams UR UR UR UR UR 22

Prior to the start of each new Miami Marlins series, we invite the Fish On First staff, FOF LIVE guests and SuperSubs to participate in Prediction Time. Results for the 2026 season will be tracked here. This is how the scoring system works: Earn one point for predicting which team will win the upcoming series Earn one point for predicting the precise number of victories for each team Earn one point for predicting the “Series MVP” who accumulated the highest win probability added (WPA) during the series as calculated by FanGraphs (could pick a player from either team) That's a maximum of three points per series.
