Jon Berti has become a forgotten man this spring. The utility player for the Miami Marlins hasn’t received much discussion during the offseason or even as the Marlins began camp back in February. The man who can play in the outfield, covering plenty of ground in the spacious Marlins Park or fill in somewhere in the middle of the team’s infield does something very well that the coaching staff hopes to capitalize in 2020.
Berti can fly around the base pads. For a team that has not scored many runs the past few seasons and has had issues with the long ball, it’s a wonder why manager Don Mattingly hasn’t used that speed to move the 30-year-old Michigan native around the bases.
