"While the Miami Marlins rebuild might be finished sooner than expected, the Marlins remain far from a finished product. If you wanted to tell the story of the 2025 Miami Marlins in a single sentence, the above would get the job done. If you want to think of them as a homework assignment, "shows promise but needs improvement" is what will get scrawled across the top in red ink. Which is hardly an insult."
"However, despite all this improvement, the Marlins are still seriously light when it comes to offensive firepower. The offensive strengths of this team have been things like scrapiness. Competitive at bats. Above all, hitting well with runners in scoring position. The Marlins have been staggeringly good at that in 2025. For just one example, across all of MLB, the only team better than Miami at hitting with runners on second and third is the Dodgers."
The Marlins' rebuild may conclude sooner than predicted, yet the roster remains incomplete and in need of refinement. The team's outlook has improved significantly compared with last year, with some criticized moves producing positive results and player development evident. Pitching and situational hitting have kept games competitive and made the team more watchable. Offensively, Miami lacks power, ranking among MLB's bottom five in homers and bottom ten in most offensive categories. The Marlins excel at hitting with runners in scoring position, ranking behind only the Dodgers with runners on second and third. Breakout performances emerged but no current hitter stands as a clear Top-10 player at his position.
