The battle for the final rotation spot is going down to the wire

Finally, we are just days away from the 2020 season. It is known that the Marlins will go with Sandy Alcántara as their Opening Day starter. Caleb Smith, José Ureña, and Pablo López will round up the next three spots. But it’s still uncertain who will be the fifth starter for the team in the upcoming regular campaign. That man will come from a group formed by sophomores Jordan Yamamoto and Robert Dugger, prospect Nick Neidert, and Elieser Hernández (all righties).

Making that decision is truly like splitting hairs, so we’re trying to bring some clarity to the situation by showing you facts about each one of them.
