Looking Back at the Miami Marlins 2021 Opening Day Roster
The Marlins 2021 Opening Day roster was composed of a few new faces to the organization through offseason signings and trades, as well as a few players who had been in Miami for previous’ seasons.
This will take a look at that 26-man roster, as well as how each player performed with Miami during the 2021 season, starting with catcher.
Catcher: Jorge Alfaro, Chad Wallach
When healthy, Alfaro remained as the Marlins primary catcher throughout the 2021 season, while also seeing time in left field and first base. Appearing in a total of 92 games, Alfaro slashed .244/.283/.342 offensively with four home runs, 30 RBI’s, and eight stolen bases.
