Sandy Alcantara, Pablo Lopez, Caleb Smith, and Jordan Yamamoto are the likely frontrunners for four of the Miami Marlins rotation slots. The fifth spot is up for grabs, and could conceivably be won by Jose Urena, Elieser Hernandez, Nick Neidert, Edward Cabrera, Sixto Sanchez, or Robert Dugger.
Dugger is a six-foot-two, 180 lb. right-handed pitcher from Tuscon, AZ. Born the day before Independence Day, 1995, he was initially a Texas Tech Red Raider when the Seattle Mariners chose him in the 18th round of the 2016 MLB Amateur Entry Draft, 537th overall.
