It would be a farce to say Jorge Alfaro has not had his chances with the Marlins. In his first season with the team in 2019, Alfaro appeared in 130 games, 113 of which he started. Alfaro would finish 2019 with 18 home runs, and a respectable .425 slugging percentage despite a below-average 94 OPS+.
We all know of the power Alfaro possesses at the plate, with his 21 home runs ranking 9th among catcher since the start of the 2019 season. And despite having his moments in parts of two seasons in Miami, Alfaro’s level of production might not be the one the Marlins are expecting from their backstop.
