It looks like the Marlins hit it right on the dot by bringing Jesús Aguilar into their clubhouse. The right-handed power hitter has done nothing else but rake in Miami’s first 11 games. After Aguilar’s subpar 2019 season, the Marlins were skeptical about who they really acquired during the offseason—there was a world a difference between Aguilar’s glorious 2018 season where he hit 35 home runs with a 134 wRC+, and his below-average 2019 where he posted a .714 OPS (.176 points lower than in 2018).
After a scorching start at the plate, Miami is hopeful the Venezuelan first baseman is back to his 2018 ways.
