The Miami Marlins Chronicles: A Brave New Outfield

When the 2018 Miami Marlins season began, the outfield was comprised of rookie Lewis Brinson in center, infielder Derek Dietrich in left, and first baseman Garrett Cooper in right. They had Cameron Maybin listed as a fourth, although he started more often than not.

Since then, Cooper has played a total of 14 games for the Marlins, with two very long DL stints. Brinson went on an epic slump to start his Miami Marlins career, punctuated by a National League leading nine errors in the outfield. Dietrich performed better than an infielder should out in left, but has still looked lost at times.
