For the first time in a long time, the Marlins have had an excess of two things: storylines and starting pitching. As a result, it may be easy to overlook the strong start to Trevor Rogers’ MLB career, especially when you consider the national attention Sixto Sánchez has garnered with his impressive debut.
The Marlins have long had high expectations for the 6’5” left-handed pitcher ever since the team selected him with the 13th pick in the 2017 MLB Draft out of Carlsbad High School in New Mexico.
Rogers did not make his professional debut until mid-2018 due to some minor arm issues and was a little bit slow out of the gate after the time off.
