Marlins starting pitcher Sandy Alcantara is building a resume the organization hoped he would fulfill when they made the deal for the 23-year-old flame-thrower last offseason.
Alcantara has been impressive the last month of the season, throwing heat and showing more control on the mound, something manager Don Mattingly has been critical of at different points this season.
For Alcantara, this season, despite a losing record, has been one of progress and personal best. And with the season coming to an end in less than two weeks, can the “ace” of the staff hit a major milestone as a Marlins starter?
