The projected 2022 Opening Day starting outfield for the Marlins is Jorge Soler in left, Jesús Sánchez in center and Avisaíl García in right. All three caught fire at the plate toward the end of last season—a 134 wRC+ post-trade deadline for Soler, 142 wRC+ for García and 127 wRC+ for Sánchez. The Marlins’ realistic best-case scenario? Having them maintain production in that neighborhood and avoiding significant injuries. This trio has awesome offensive potential, arguably one of the five highest ceilings among MLB outfields.
It’s a different story defensively. Soler and García are big guys with slow first steps.
