Austin Dean was mic’d up during batting practice Saturday and the rookie outfielder spent the session putting on a show and hamming it up with his teammates.
The Marlins might want to consider making it a permanent gimmick.
Dean, who was named the organization’s minor league Player of the Year, drove in three runs with a single and two-run homer as the Marlins knocked off the Cincinnati Reds, 5-1.
Jose Urena continued his strong late-season pitching surge by holding the Reds scoreless over 5 2/3 innings before coming out in the sixth with an apparent leg injury.
