The Miami Marlins demonstrated growth following their 2024 trade deadline acquisitions in a recent 9-4 victory against the Tampa Bay Rays. Key players included catcher Agustin Ramirez, third baseman Connor Norby, and outfielder Kyle Stowers, who have become vital offensive components. Ramirez's disciplined walk with the bases loaded and Norby's crucial bases-clearing double illustrated their contributions. Manager Clayton McCullough praised the team's quality at-bats and discipline, showcasing potential growth after an impressive game against a strong opponent.
The quality of at-bats was terrific," said Marlins manager Clayton McCullough postgame. "Seven walks as a team against a really good club like Tampa is always a good sign.
That was a real at-bat," McCullough noted. "He got behind early but showed great discipline laying off some tough pitches in a big spot.
We continue to learn in those situations," Norby said after the game. "I hadn't been great in those two-out spots, so that swing was obviously big.
With the game tied 1-1 and two outs in the bottom of the fourth, Ramirez stepped to the plate with the bases loaded and worked a gritty eight-pitch walk to push across the go-ahead run.
