Earning Their Stripes Episode 40: 2021’s Marlins Breakout Prospects

Here’s a show dedicated to the Marlins players who performed at a special level in 2021 without necessarily having the tools, track record or the hype of conventional top prospects. Swimming Upstream co-hosts Alex Carver and Daniel De Vivo join Ely Sussman to break down Eury Pérez, Troy Johnston, Jake Eder, Nick Fortes, Antonio Velez, Ian Lewis and more.

Enjoy Episode 40!
