Pat Rapp arrived in South Florida in 1993, a right-handed starter from the Giants in the expansion draft to help build the Marlins’ rotation. Though he later became a journeyman across leagues, he demonstrated durability during the franchise’s early years, providing essential support for a growing expansion team.

Rapp had his best season in 1995, posting a 14-7 record and an excellent 3.44 ERA. He demonstrated complete control of the mound on September 18, 1995, when he authored a one-hit shutout against the Rockies at Coors Field, a rare achievement that remains one of the most dominant pitching performances in the ballpark’s high-altitude history.

Following a poor 1996 season, he was traded back to San Francisco during the 1997 Season, with Rapp going 37-43 with the Marlins.
