8. Mike Lowell

Notable Marlins Stats: 143 HR ranks 4th / 965 hits ranks 4th / 15 oWAR ranks 9th

Mike Lowell is easily a Top 5 Marlins fan favorite of all time. Lowell was a three-time All-Star with the club, and also won the 2003 Silver Slugger. Not to mention he played college and high school ball locally as he attended Coral Gables HS and Florida International University.

The case can be made that Lowell should be higher on this list, but his batting average of .272 while with the Marlins ranks 19th in the organizations history. While he is in the Top 5 of the franchise in HR, other players have nearly the same amount with 100s of fewer games played.

Regardless, Lowell is a Marlins legend, and he takes his place as one of the greatest hitters the franchise has ever had.

7. Dan Uggla

Notable Marlins Stats: 154 HR rank 2nd / .837 ops ranks 7th / 19.5 oWAR ranks 6th

Dan Uggla was an All-Star in his rookie year. Uggla came into the league just going yard like no one’s business, evident by himself hitting at least 27 HRs in every season he was with the Marlins.

Uggla was also apart of that 2008 Marlins infield that all managed to hit 25 HR in a single season.

Uggla also ranks 8th with 771 hits for the Marlins. While his average was subpar for this all-time list, a .263 AVG while with the team, we have not had a better offensive second baseman since he left.

Since he has left also, he was never the same offensive player either. Leaving after the 2010 season, Uggla only managed to break past 30 HR once in a season after the Marlins, but did it four times consecutively while with the Fish.
