It’s not hard to understand why the Marlins front office is excited about the not too distant future as their minor league prospects made advances toward playing in the Majors. Two of those prospects, Monte Harrison and Lewin Diaz, could be part of the 26-man roster at some point in the early part of 2020.
Harrison is a candidate to win an outfield slot for Opening Day. The former Milwaukee Brewers farmhand showed he could change his approach at the plate and become a more effective hitter. Known for his size and power, it’s a good bet if he does make the Marlins 26, he could become an effective leadoff hitter because he also developed his base running while at Triple-A New Orleans last season.
