Miguel Rojas proving himself as reliable as Marlins’ everyday starting infielders

Martin Prado often walks around the Marlins clubhouse wearing a white headband.

When Miguel Rojas does the same thing, if one didn’t know better, you could almost mistake for Prado’s younger brother.

For Rojas, a 28-year-old utility infielder entering his fourth season in the majors, the climb to the bigs has been long, and his quest to be an everyday starter is still ongoing.

But Prado has been a mentor and become a role model for Rojas since each joined the Marlins in 2014. Both are from Venezuela, each having been born in cities separated by a little more than an hour’s drive.
