2 months agoAccording to Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald, Miami Marlins first base/third base prospect
Deyvison De Los Santos may open the season at Triple-A. Jackson noted that the young infielder needs to reduce his strikeout rate and will "likely" begin the season with Triple-A Jacksonville. Last season, the Marlins traded left-hander
A.J. Puk to the Diamondbacks to acquire De Los Santos. The 21-year-old opened the season at the Double-A level and posted a strong .372/.426/.696 slash line with 14 long balls across 38 games. Then, in 99 games at Triple-A (split between Reno and Jacksonville), De Los Santos held a .264/.311/.523 slash line with 21 doubles and 26 long balls. However, he held a poor 22:108 BB:K ratio. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his progression during spring training. He will likely compete for a corner infield spot alongside
Jonah Bride,
Connor Norby, and
Matt Mervis.

Deyvison De Los Santos went 2-for-6 with a double and his 36th home run of the 2024 campaign. De Los Santos was traded to the Marlins at the deadline in exchange for left-handed pitcher
A.J. Puk. The infielder opened the campaign at the Double-A level and posted an excellent .372/.426/.696 line through a 38-game stint. Then, through 77 games at Triple-A (split between Reno and Jacksonville), he sits with a .278/.326/.562 line with 22 home runs and 70 RBI. De Los Santos has emerged as one of the best power hitters in the minor leagues and could be in contention for a late-season major league debut. Deeper league managers should continue to stash the 21-year-old as he could provide elite power down the stretch.

Deyvison De Los Santos hit his 35th home run of the season on Wednesday for the Triple-A Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp. It is his seventh homer in 21 games with his new team after he was acquired by the Marlins from the Arizona Diamondbacks at the trade deadline. De Los Santos has hit his 35 homers with three different teams this season and has not slowed down with his new organization. He is the Marlins' No. 5 prospect and should earn a shot in Miami before the season is over. His power production this season is very impressive. It may be hard for that to translate immediately but he could thrive in Miami as the Marlins look to the future in their rebuild.

Deyvison De Los Santos went 3-for-5 with a solo home run and three RBI on Sunday for Triple-A Jacksonville. The home run was his 34rd of the season and he continues to lead all of MiLB baseball in that category. The 21-year-old opened the season in the Arizona Diamondbacks system in Double-A Amarillo, before working his way up to Triple-A Reno. After being dealt midseason, he has spent his time in the Marlins franchise with Jacksonville. Regardless of which uniform he has worn, he continues to slug the ball out of the ballpark. Between all three teams, De Los Santos has hit a combined .315 with 34 homers and 100 RBI. With the Marlins hopes of the playoffs washed away, there is a chance that De Los Santos could get some run at the end of the season, but with
Jake Burger and
Jonah Bride both hitting the ball well at the moment, he may have to wait a little longer for his opportunity. Managers seeking power should consider De Los Santos, should he get the call.
