Despite falling short of the postseason, the Miami Marlins (79-82) made substantial gains in the 2016 season. First year manager, Don Mattingly, referred to the season as a “stepping stone,” with several of its core players taking significant steps forward, including position players – Christian Yelich, J.T. Realmuto, Marcel Ozuna as well as pitchers Adam Conley and Kyle Barraclough.
