Sandy Alcantara Cementing Spot In Marlins Rotation
6 years agoMiami Marlins starting pitcher Sandy Alcantara, the team's No. 5 prospect per MLB Pipeline, is cementing his spot in the rotation by posting a 1.50 ERA with 14 strikeouts in 12 innings with 10 walks this spring. The 23-year-old right-hander is the best prospect the Fish received from the Cardinals in the Marcell Ozuna trade in 2017. He can hit 100 mph with his heater and also has a plus slider and changeup. Alcantara went 2-3 with a 3.44 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 7.9 K% in six starts for the Marlins last year. If he can work on his command, he'll be a valuable asset in deep mixed and NL-only leagues in a nice pitcher's park.
