What will the second year of baseball in a Miami Marlins uniform mean for catcher Jorge Alfaro?
The player who was part of the deal that sent J.T. Realmuto to the Philadephia Phillies in exchange for Sixto Sanchez, Alfaro and Will Stewart showed plenty of promise in 2019, swatting 18 home runs and 57 RBI while playing 130 games. But given the Marlins need more power in the lineup and more consistency at the plate, more will be expected from the team’s top backstop.
Injuries also played a role in Alfaro’s performance last season.
