Miami Marlins: What the Lineup Should Look Like Going Forward
By Matt Melton
8. Jon Berti – 3B
2021 Season Stats: .214 AVG, .319 OBP, .308 SLG, .627 OPS, 2 HR, 12 RBI, 4 SB
Other Potential Lineup Options: Anywhere from 6-8
There are multiple options as we’ve seen to fill the third base position with Anderson down with an injury. However, Jon Berti seems like the most likely option going forward. Berti got off to a rough start to the season, but has had a phenomenal month of June hitting .319 which includes five multi-hit games.
9. Pitchers Spot
Whether fans like it or not, there is no universal DH in the NL for the 2021 season. Marlins pitchers this season have however collected 10 hits and one RBI in 114 at-bats so far this season.
While the Marlins have a few starters set as 100% everyday starters, if this lineup produces runs going forward, it will allow Miami to mix-and-match with players such as Jose Devers, Magneuris Sierra, and more.
Despite the Miami Marlins struggles at times offensively this season, this lineup has potential when healthy. Now while they might not be 100% healthy currently, this Marlins lineup can still be one of the best in the NL when things are fully clicking.
