Miami Marlins: Is this the year Brian Anderson takes over as a leader?

To some, it might not be that big of a deal, but Marlins third baseman Brian Anderson is back swinging a bat. The third-year player had his 2019 season halted when he was hit by a pitch on his hand, fracturing a bone and ending what was the best year of his short career.

Despite adding power hitters and speed to the lineup, Anderson is still being asked to be a leader at the plate, a player the Marlins can build around for this coming season and the future.

“I’m just excited to be out here, and be on the field again,” Anderson said via MLB.
