Miami Marlins: Way-too-early Roster Prediction for the 2022 Season

Starting Rotation

The Miami Marlins 2022 starting rotation features numerous potential options, and should be one of the best from one-to-five in all of baseball.

SP Sandy Alcantara

Coming off a career-year in 2021, Alcantara will return as the ace of the Marlins rotation during the 2022 campaign in what will be year five in Miami for the right-hander. Making a league-leading 33 starts this past season, the 26-year-old posted a 3.19 ERA with a career-high 201 strikeouts across 205.2 innings pitched.

SP Trevor Rogers

Rogers will return in 2022 after a phenomenal rookie season that included the left-handers first career All-Star appearance, as well as a likely finalist for the 2021 NL Rookie of the Year. Likely acting as the Marlins No. 2-3 starter, Rogers will look for another impressive season coming off a campaign that included a 2.64 ERA across 25 starts.

SP Pablo Lopez

After a career-year, Lopez should return to the Marlins rotation in 2022. One of the top No. 3 starters in all of baseball, the right-hander posted a 3.07 ERA across 20 starts this past season in what was his fourth season in Miami.

SP Sixto Sanchez

Missing all of the 2021 season due to an injury, Sanchez should be a focal-point of the Marlins 2022 rotation if healthy. Making seven starts for Miami a year ago, the Marlins No. 4 prospect posted a 3.46 ERA.

SP Edward Cabrera

Miami’s No. 2 prospect made his major league debut during the 2021 campaign making seven starts where he posted a 5.81 ERA. Cabrera should begin the 2022 season as a part of the Marlins starting rotation where a breakout campaign could be in the works.
