The Marlins will certainly be watching how Jordan Yamamoto develops this offseason. The 22-year old right-hander is making a name for himself in the Arizona Fall League and should take another step toward the Major Leagues in 2019.
Yamamoto was part of the deal with Isan Díaz, Lewis Brinson, and Monte Harrison that sent Christian Yelich to the Milwaukee Brewers. While Yelich has been tearing up the National League and should be the MVP, Miami did well in this deal in finding four players who could all be part of the Major League roster in 2020.
Yamamoto will have the toughest road to the bigs as he is competing with many other arms to fill a rotation that will be both young and inexperienced.
