As the current offseason comes to a close, we’re finishing up our long, 286-part series on every player to appear in the Miami Marlins system in 2018. Part 270 is Merandy Gonzalez.
Merandy Gonzalez is a 6′, 216 lb. right-handed batting and throwing pitcher from Cotui, Dominican Republic, population 79,596. Eleven major leaguers have originated out of the city, the most prolific of whom is probably pitcher Ramon Ortiz.
Gonzalez, who was born on October 9th, 1995, signed his first professional deal with the New York Mets on March 6th, 2013.
