"Miami's best to ever wear the No. 13 jersey owns the 8th best single-season WAR total by a hitter with a 5.7 total back in 2017, and is tied for the tenth best Marlins career WAR total (13.7) for a position player with Jeff Conine. He went to two straight All-Star games at two different positions. Unfortunately, his legacy is marred by some very Hall of Shame worthy actions off the field after leaving Miami."
"For one, just take a moment to think about how different Ozuna might be remembered if his career best season wasn't in 2017. Of all the entrants on the Miami Marlins Top 10 single-season hitters list for WAR, only two of them came in the same single-season: Ozuna and Stanton. The 59-homer, NL MVP, 8.1 WAR version of Stanton. Yeah, woof is right. Talk about a hold my beer performance f"
Giancarlo Stanton's 2017 MVP season (59 homers, 8.1 WAR) stands as the best single-season hitting performance in Miami Marlins history. Marcell Ozuna's 2017 season produced a 5.7 WAR, ranking eighth among single-season WAR totals and contributing to a 13.7 career WAR that ties him with Jeff Conine for tenth among Marlins position players. Several marquee names—Gary Sheffield, Hanley Ramírez, Miguel Cabrera, Cliff Floyd and others—figure prominently in the top single-season lists. Only two entries on the Top 10 single-season WAR list came from the same year: Ozuna and Stanton in 2017. Ozuna earned two consecutive All-Star selections at different positions, but off-field misconduct after leaving Miami has complicated his legacy despite elite on-field production.
