Overview

System organization

The ' system follows Major League Baseball's (MLB) standardized player development structure, organized into six progressive levels designed to groom prospects for major league competition. The highest level is Triple-A, followed by Double-A, , and Low-A, each representing increasing degrees of skill and readiness. The entry-level leagues include the (FCL) Marlins, which operates in the U.S., and the (DSL) Marlins, featuring two teams based in the to accommodate international development. This hierarchy allows for a tiered approach to player evaluation and advancement, with promotions based on metrics and organizational needs. As of late 2025, the Marlins' system comprises approximately 150 players distributed across these affiliates, providing a robust pool for talent cultivation. This number reflects active rosters and recent transactions, including draftees and signees, and supports ongoing depth for injury replacements and future call-ups. The system's primary function is to act as the Marlins' talent pipeline, where raw prospects refine their abilities through specialized training and game experience before transitioning to the major league roster, contributing to long-term team sustainability. In terms of organizational policies, the Marlins emphasized collegiate talent in the 2025 MLB Draft, selecting and signing all 21 picks from college programs, with a focus on 11 pitchers to bolster pitching depth across the system. This approach prioritized immediate developmental readiness over high school risks, aligning with the club's strategy to accelerate integration into higher levels. Complementing domestic efforts, the Marlins invested heavily in international signings during the 2025 period, securing 17 prospects—primarily from and the —headlined by Andrew Salas, to diversify and replenish the lower levels of the pipeline.

Player development strategy

The Miami Marlins' player development in 2025 emphasizes a holistic approach to talent cultivation, integrating advanced , data-driven training, and accelerated pathways to the major leagues. Under the of new personnel hires, including hitting development director Joe Migliaccio, the organization has revamped its processes to focus on individualized player growth, with a particular push toward building depth through international signings and technological integration. This aligns with broader MLB trends but is tailored to the Marlins' rebuild, prioritizing sustainable talent pipelines over short-term trades. A key pillar is the heightened emphasis on pitching development and international scouting. In January 2025, the Marlins signed 17 international prospects to open the signing period, headlined by shortstop Andrew Salas, ranked as the No. 5 overall international prospect by MLB Pipeline, signaling an aggressive expansion of their global talent pool. For pitching, the organization implemented an organization-wide pitch-calling initiative across minor league levels, where coaches signal pitches to catchers using data-informed sequences that prioritize high-velocity and "nastiest" offerings to maximize strikeouts and limit damage, as demonstrated by successes like Robby Snelling's bounce-back season earning him Minor League Pitcher of the Year. This approach has contributed to improved command and velocity metrics among prospects, with the Marlins' farm system posting its highest collective winning percentage in nearly two decades in 2025. The integration of and technology, such as for biomechanical analysis and pitch tracking, plays a central role in player evaluation and refinement. Marlins' baseball operations utilize AI and tools to process over 15 million points per game, enabling precise adjustments in swing paths, release points, and defensive positioning during training. This tech-forward methodology, overseen by the vice president of baseball systems, has enhanced prospect scouting reports and development plans, as seen in updated metrics for top arms like Thomas White. Complementing these efforts, the 2025 awards highlighted the strategy's impact, with Kemp Alderman earning Player of the Year for his .285/.338/.482 slash line across Double-A and Triple-A. Success metrics underscore the effectiveness of this strategy, particularly in promotion rates. In 2025 alone, the Marlins led MLB with 15 rookies making their major league debuts, many advancing rapidly from Low-A levels through aggressive assignments and performance benchmarks. Over the 2023-2025 period, this has translated to a notable uptick in graduations, with players like Maximo Acosta moving from High-A to the majors in under two seasons, reflecting a promotion philosophy that rewards quick adaptation over extended seasoning. These outcomes position the Marlins' system as one of the league's most improved, fostering a pipeline that supported a third-place finish in 2025 despite prior rebuild challenges.

His hit tool rates at 40, with solid contact skills marred by a high chase rate and 30% strikeout frequency, while his 30 run grade limits upside beyond 15-20 per season. Defensively, he profiles at 40 across the board, with average arm strength but limited range at third base or first base, where errors exceeded 10% in prior seasons, suggesting a potential shift to . De Los Santos projects as a potential average regular corner or bat, leveraging his power for middle-order production if contact improves to sustain a .250-.260 average; his base-stealing adds occasional leadoff versatility in lineups valuing on-base skills. Added to the Marlins' 40-man roster in November 2024, he enters 2026 with two minor-league options remaining.

Dax Fulton

Dax Fulton is a left-handed in the organization, selected in the second round (40th overall) of the 2020 MLB Draft out of Mustang High School in , . He signed for a $2.4 million bonus, forgoing a commitment to the , and was regarded as the top prep left-hander available in a shortened five-round draft impacted by the . Fulton quickly advanced through the Marlins' system, debuting in the rookie-level Gulf Coast League in 2021 before reaching Double-A Pensacola by 2023, though injuries including a second surgery sidelined him for the entire 2024 season. In 2025, Fulton demonstrated a consistent following his recovery, logging 103.2 innings across Double-A and Triple-A affiliates, marking a significant step in building stamina after prior limitations. At Double-A Pensacola, he made 16 starts with a 5-7 record, a 5.36 , and 96 strikeouts in 87.1 innings, showcasing improved endurance by averaging over five innings per outing in the latter half of the season. His performance earned a promotion to Triple-A Jacksonville in late July, where he added 16.1 innings with a 5.51 before a call-up to the majors, though he did not appear in a game. The Marlins added Fulton to their 40-man roster in November 2024 to protect him from the , reflecting confidence in his long-term potential as a mid-rotation starter. Scouts praise Fulton's changeup for its fading action and potential as an average offering (50 grade), which complements his primary pitches when thrown with proper velocity separation in the mid-80s, though it occasionally firms up and reduces effectiveness. At 6-foot-7, Fulton's frame and extension enhance his fastball (55 grade, 92-95 mph) and breaking balls (curveball and slider both 60 grade), but his command (45 grade) remains a work in progress. Post-recovery efforts in 2025 focused on conditioning to boost stamina, allowing him to maintain velocity and sharpness deeper into starts, a key development for sustaining his role in the Marlins' pitching depth.

Andrew Pintar

Andrew Pintar, an outfielder in the organization, was selected by the Arizona Diamondbacks in the fifth round (148th overall) of the 2022 MLB Draft out of , where his college performance was hampered by a right capsule requiring multiple surgeries. Acquired by the Marlins at the 2024 trade deadline from the Diamondbacks for cash considerations, Pintar transitioned to the Marlins' system and focused on refining his skills as a . In the 2025 season, Pintar demonstrated significant progress in his hitting after recovering from prior injuries, posting a .269 with a .338 , four home runs, and 23 stolen bases over 297 at-bats primarily at Triple-A Jacksonville. His on-base skills highlighted a patient plate approach, walks at a solid rate while maintaining low swing-and-miss tendencies and spraying line drives across the field, which contributed to a .384 and .722 for the year. These improvements marked a rebound from earlier setbacks, including a broken ankle in 2023 that limited him to 51 games across Low-A and levels. Scouts praise Pintar's disciplined hitting style, noting his ability to work counts effectively and leverage plus running speed for extra bases, positioning him as a potential everyday with gap power. Defensively, he excels with accurate throws from the outfield, though his arm strength is graded as average, allowing him to cover ground efficiently in center while limiting him from right field duties. By late 2025, Pintar had solidified his role in the Marlins' outfield pipeline as a versatile defender, earning recognition as the Arizona Fall League Defensive Player of the Year for his leatherwork.

Rehab assignments

In 2025, the utilized rehab assignments for several major league players recovering from injuries, primarily placing them at Triple-A Jacksonville to facilitate a swift return to the active roster. These assignments allowed players to regain game readiness while adhering to MLB's 10-day or 60-day protocols, with pitchers often building pitch counts and position players focusing on at-bats and defensive reps. A total of at least 16 Marlins players completed rehab stints with their Triple-A affiliate alone, reflecting the team's injury challenges throughout the season. Key examples include right-hander , who began the year on the 15-day with right finger inflammation and started his rehab on April 1 at Triple-A Jacksonville, appearing in two starts before being reinstated on April 11. Later, on September 1, Cabrera suffered a right and began another assignment at the same level on September 14, but his season ended without a return to the majors due to the injury's severity. Left-hander , sidelined by a left lat strain since June 9 (placed on the 60-day IL), initiated rehab on August 30 at Triple-A Jacksonville, where he made multiple starts totaling 15 innings with a 2.40 before being recalled and reinstated on , allowing him to pitch in the majors down the stretch. Earlier in the season, Weathers had a brief rehab for a left strain starting in late at , progressing quickly to a return by May 14. Prospect right-hander Eury Pérez, recovering from surgery performed in April 2024, began his extensive 2025 rehab on April 26 at Low-A Jupiter to build arm strength gradually, advancing through High-A Beloit, Double-A Pensacola, and culminating at Triple-A Jacksonville by late May, where he struck out four in a five-inning scoreless outing on May 28. He was recalled on June 9 after 10 rehab appearances, rejoining the Marlins rotation and contributing 45 innings with a 3.60 ERA in his return starts. Outfielder Derek Hill endured multiple injuries, including a left in July (10-day IL) leading to a rehab start on August 2 at Triple-A Jacksonville, from which he was recalled August 4 after two games. In September, a right strain prompted another assignment starting September 18 at Triple-A, but he was on September 22 without completing it fully, ending his season on the IL. First baseman/outfielder , out since April 30 following successful left shoulder surgery, began rehab on September 7 at Triple-A Jacksonville, playing nine games and hitting .292 with two home runs before being reinstated from the 60-day IL on September 22, allowing him to appear in four major league games before the season's end. Infielder Connor Norby, dealing with a broken left from (requiring surgery), started rehab on August 21 at Triple-A Jacksonville, homering in his debut before a quick recall on August 29. A subsequent quad strain in early September led to another assignment starting September 11, lasting three games (2-for-10 with two RBI) until reinstatement on September 15. Earlier, in April, Norby rehabbed an oblique strain at the same level successfully. Shortstop Xavier Edwards suffered a left mid-back strain on May 15 (10-day IL) and began a short rehab on May 29 at Triple-A Jacksonville, playing two games before being recalled on May 31 and returning to the lineup shortly after, maintaining his leadoff role for the rest of the season. Catcher Rob Brantly, placed on the 10-day IL April 21 with a right lat strain (transferred to 60-day May 24), completed his rehab at Triple-A Jacksonville starting in June, leading to reinstatement on July 14 after several games behind the plate. Outfielder Kyle Stowers, sidelined by a left oblique strain in late August, began rehab on September 5 at Triple-A Jacksonville and was recalled on September 29 after a productive stint, though limited appearances followed due to the late season timing.
