Fish Stripes’ All-Time Marlins Countdown is wrapping up which can only mean one thing: we are so close to Opening Day!
The runner up spot belongs to right-handed pitcher Kevin Brown. Check back tomorrow as Kevin Kraczkowski unveils the final chapter of the countdown!
Although Brown was a Florida Marlins for only two seasons, he has the 10th highest WAR in franchise history. He was the Marlins’ most valuable player both seasons, according to Baseball-Reference, posting 7.8 and 6.8 wins above replacement in 1996 and 1997. Before he was the Marlins’ ace, Brown was the fourth overall pick in the 1986 MLB Draft out of Georgia Institute of Technology where he studied chemical engineering.
