Brian Anderson’s season hasn’t gone as planned. Like other Marlins players, his 2021 campaign has fallen short of expectations in terms of health and offensive consistency. You could easily argue that he’s having the worst year of his young MLB career.
Anderson enters Saturday’s game hitting .244/.325/.378 in 64 games, along with 55 hits, nine doubles, seven home runs, and only 28 runs batted in. In August, the third baseman is slashing .205/.303/.321 and has far more strikeouts (21) than hits (16) across 89 plate appearances.
But considering the team’s circumstances and ongoing rebuilding process, the Marlins will face a very important decision soon.
