2021 Marlins Season Preview: James Hoyt

Opening Day age: 34 | Bats: right | Throws: right | Listed at 6-6, 230 lbs.

Purchased by Marlins from Indians (August 1, 2020).

James Hoyt was a pretty rare find for the Marlins.

His career has not been typical at all. Hoyt made a late debut in 2016 at 29 years old and he was never much of a standout performer at any point from 2016 to 2019. Through his first two seasons in the Majors, he pitched 71 13 innings of 4.42 ERA and 3.80 FIP for Houston, but had only nine appearances between 2018 to 2019 with Houston and Cleveland.
