Nine games into the 2020 season, the Miami Marlins have already deployed 27 pitchers.

None of the 27 have pitched more than nine innings, which would be the minimum requirement to appear on the National League leaderboard. In fact, the Miami Marlins opening day starter, Sandy Alcantara, leads the staff with 6 2/3 innings pitched. He’s been sidelined with coronavirus since the Marlins resumed play this past Tuesday.
