Four under the radar Miami Marlins prospects who are killing it in 2022

A+ OF Tanner Allen is another Miami Marlins prospect to watch.

OF Tanner Allen is not particularly close to the Majors, but it doesn’t hurt to think about the future for him on the Miami Marlins. Tanner is estimated to be coming up in 2024, but by that point it wouldn’t be surprising if his prospect stock has actually increased.

Tanner is currently hitting .265/.296/.456 and that batting line may not immediately jump off the page, but that’s an improvement from his .189/.258/.288 production from last season. An interesting thing about Allen, is that when he first started playing in the Miami Marlins’ Minor League system he had an excellent and very impressive 18.2% BB%. It has unfortunately dropped down to 4.2% this season, but there’s hope that he can get back to working the count more.

An encouraging thing about the former college baseball standout is that he cut his strikeout rate from 16.9% in 2021 to 15.5% in 2022. Another encouraging thing is that despite his poor batting line last season, he did it with a .189 BABIP, which means that it was a fluke. This season he has a .304 BABIP, implying that this season’s production is more in line with his actual talent level.

Tanner Allen is definitely a prospect to watch at the moment, and could end up rising up the prospect rankings by the time that this season ends. It’s possible that in a few years he’ll be a major part of the Miami Marlins’ outfield.
