Led by John Pachot at manager, the Marlins clawed their way to a 25-31 record for the 13th best record in the 18-team Gulf Coast League. They finished 15 games out of the money, ranking third in the five-team GCL East Division.
The Gulf Coast League is normally home to recently drafted players, a few transfers from the DSL from the season prior, and assorted rehab assigned players from higher levels.
