Miami Marlins: Looking back at the Top 10 Prospects from 2011

2. OF Christian Yelich

After being selected in the first round of the 2010 MLB Draft by the Marlins out of high school, Yelich posted a phenomenal 2011 minor league season to be rated as Miami’s No. 2 prospect at seasons end. Enjoying similar success over the next two years, Yelich debuted in the big leagues with the Marlins where he would spend five seasons.

Traded to the Milwaukee Brewers in January of 2018, Yelich would post two phenomenal first seasons with the club that included two All-Star appearances, as well as the 2018 NL MVP. Yelich is currently in year four with the Brewers where he has slashed .247/.358/.369 across 108 games.

1. 3B Matt Dominguez

The Marlins 2007 first round pick, Dominguez reached the big leagues during the 2011 campaign ending the season as the club’s top prospect, as well as the No. 35 overall prospect in baseball. After posting a .625 OPS across 17 games in the major leagues in 2011, Dominguez was however traded in 2012 as a part of the previously mentioned Lee deal.

Dominguez would spend three seasons in Houston from 2012-2014 where he slashed a combined .233/.274/.376 with 42 home runs and 150 RBI’s. Also spending time in the Brewers, Blue Jays, and Red Sox organizations from 2015-2017, Dominguez last played in 2018 with the Chiba Lotte Marines in Japan.

While not all of these prospects played exclusively with the Marlins, they did make an impact across multiple organizations as well. However, when it comes to solely the Miami Marlins, which of these made the biggest impact with the Fish?
