With the 2017 MLB season now in full swing, second year manager Don Mattingly<\/a><\/strong><\/strong> and\u00a0the Miami Marlins are a team whose forecast\u00a0for this season is\u00a0unclear. While they have an abundance of power and contact bats at their disposal, many are skeptical of their starting rotation, headlined by free agent signee Edinson Volquez<\/a><\/strong><\/strong>. One thing with this team is for sure though – their outfield is lethal. If the that same Miami Marlins outfield can remain healthy this season, they will\u00a0become the best outfield unit in baseball.<\/p>\n

If They Can Remain Healthy, The Miami Marlins Outfield Will Be The Best In Baseball:<\/strong><\/h1>\n

While they’re\u00a0solid all around the diamond with the versatile Martin Prado<\/a><\/strong><\/strong>, the crafty Dee Gordon<\/a><\/strong><\/strong>, and first baseman Justin Bour<\/a><\/strong><\/strong>, the Marlins biggest asset is their outfield.<\/p>\n

With young up and coming outfielders such as Marcell Ozuna<\/a><\/strong><\/strong>, Christian Yelich<\/a><\/strong><\/strong> and Giancarlo Stanton<\/a><\/strong><\/strong>, the Marlins have a formidable trio in their outfield. Stanton though has already made a name for himself in regards to being a star.<\/p>\n

Giancarlo Stanton<\/a>‘s Rise To Stardom, Albeit The Injuries<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Throughout the course of his seven year career, right fielder Giancarlo Stanton has been known for one thing in particular – his power bat. While baseball has the luxury of having many top tier and exciting power hitters in its league, Stanton tends to stand out just a bit more.<\/p>\n

Standing at 6’6″, Stanton possesses a long and powerful swing, which makes the watching eye look upon his stance as an overpowering one. The pop off his bat only adds to that notion.<\/p>\n

While Stanton tends to be a must watch at the plate in the regular season, he’s also put on quite the show at the MLB Home Run Derby.<\/p>\n
