Stone Garrett is one such player. The Marlins‘ eighth-round pick back in 2014, Garrett put his best all-around season together while playing with the Double-A Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp. Playing near-equally in left and in right field, Garrett made four errors in 857 innings, holding down a .980 fielding percentage. He was guilty of sometimes making special plays look routine (see tweet below).
At the plate, Garrett clubbed a career-best 14 long balls while slashing out a .243/.289/.413 line. He collected 63 RBI and also stole 15 bases.
Garrett is a year-back from where a more conventional progression would have him – due to an extra season spent with the High-A Jupiter Hammerheads in the Florida State League.
