The 100: A Miami Marlins Season Review

Rindfleisch, a catcher out of Ball State, was Miami’s ninth round choice in 2016. Hampered by injuries this season, he slashed .290/.540/.323 in 13 games for the Grasshoppers. His OBP was aided by 11 walks and seven HBP.

He also threw out 23-of-60 basestealers, good for a 38 percent kill-rate.
