All-Time Marlins Countdown: #JDF16

Only two players in the annals of Marlins’ history had more of a positive impact per-plate-appearance than did José Fernández.

For comparison’s sake, yesterday’s honoree, Cliff Floyd, was worth .00658 bWAR per plate appearance, Fernández averaged .00694 per batter faced, and tomorrow’s Marlin, at number two overall, averaged .00712. The final 128 players in the countdown have totaled at least 800 plate appearances or batters faced while entrenched with the franchise.
