This weekend, we’re finishing up our offseason-long every-Miami Marlins player series. Each player who participated at any level of affiliated baseball with the Marlins in 2018 get an article. Today’s first story is about Raul Brito. This is part 283 of 286.
Raul Adolfo Brito is a 6’1″, 180 lb. right-handed throwing and hitting pitcher from Licey, Dominican Republic, population 69,321. If Brito someday reaches the major leagues, he will be the first Licey native to get that far. In fact, nobody from Licey has ever advanced past the high-A level.
Brito was born on May 23rd, 1997, and signed his first professional deal with the Miami Marlins on July 22nd, 2016.
