Miguel Rojas Steady On: Miami Marlins Rightful Captain

Miguel Rojas has always been a solid defensive asset everywhere on the diamond, providing at least average defense at all four positions. The Marlins doubled down on him as their starting shortstop in 2019, and were rewarded with the second best WAR from amongst Miami’s position players – a mark of 2.4.

For those of you who don’t pore over every little nook and cranny of the Miami Marlins statistics day-in, day-out, year-by-year, or player-by-player, it may surprise you to know that Rojas stands alone not just in terms of longevity on the parent club, but also in terms of production.
