Our All Time Top 50 Miami Marlins have been revised to reflect the 2025 Season
Yes, we know that this is taking a while!
As many of you know, we at Notinhalloffame.com are slowly generating the top 50 of each major North American sports team. That being said, we maintain and update our existing Top 50 lists annually. We are pleased to present our pre-2026 revision of our top 50 Miami Marlins.
As for all of our top 50 players in baseball, we look at the following:
1. Duration and Impact.
2. Traditional statistics and how they finished in the Major League Baseball.
3. Advanced Statistics.
4. Playoff performance.
5. Their respective legacy on the team.
6. How successful the team was when he was there.
7. Respecting the era in which they played.
Criteria 1-4 will make up the lion’s share of the algorithm. Please note that we have implemented this for the first time. This has changed the rankings all throughout the board.
Last year, the Marlins won 79 games and finished third in the National League East. Despite the franchise’s relatively brief existence, there were no new Marlins, with the exception of two players returning under the new algorithm.
As always, we present our top five, which saw changes due to the new algorithm.
1. Giancarlo Stanton
2. Hanley Ramirez
3. Josh Johnson
4. Miguel Cabrera
5. Luis Castillo
You can find the entire list here.
Of note, Cabrera and Castillo flipped the #4 and #5 spots.
Active Pitcher, Sandy Alcantara, remains at #7.
Due to the changing algorithm, Antonio Alfonseca and Pat Rapp returned to the list at #48 and #49, respectively.
This took out Edgar Renteria and Jesus Luzardo from the list.
We thank you for your continued support of our lists on Notinhalloffame.com.
Our All Time Top 50 Miami Marlins have been revised to reflect the 2024 Season.
Yes, we know that this is taking a while!
As many of you know, we at Notinhalloffame.com are slowly generating the top 50 of each major North American sports team. That being said, we have existing Top 50 lists and consistently look to update them when necessary and based on necessity. As such, we are delighted to present our post-2024 revision of our top 50 Miami Marlins.
As for all of our top 50 players in baseball, we look at the following:
1. Advanced Statistics.
2. Traditional statistics and how they finished in the National League.
3. Playoff accomplishments.
4. Their overall impact on the team and other intangibles that are not reflected in a stat sheet.
Please note that our algorithm has changed, which yielded minor changes throughout the baseball lists.
Last year, the Marlins continued their losing ways as a small market team and sold off assets before they became high-priced. Nevertheless, there was one new entrant based on the 2024 campaign, and of course, that player is no longer in Miami.
As always, we present our top five, which had no changes.
3. Josh Johnson
You can find the entire list here.
Staring Pitcher Sandy Alcantara remains at #7.
Jazz Chisholm, who is now a New York Yankee, went up nine spots to #31.
Pitcher Tanner Scott enters at #39.
Luis Arraez, who was traded early in the year, went up two spots to #43.
Jesus Luzardo comes in at #49.

Our All-Time Top 50 Miami Marlins are up
Yes, we know that this is taking a while!
As many of you know, we here at Notinhalloffame.com are slowly generating the 50 of each major North American sports team. We have a new one to unveil today, that of the Miami Marlins.
Along with the Colorado Rockies, the Florida Marlins came into existence in 1993, although they have been far more successful than their expansion counterparts.
The Marlins won the Pennant in only their fourth year of existence, but surely, they could not beat the New York Yankees for the World Series! Florida did precisely that, shocking the world, and then they surprised everyone by conducting a fire sale, dismantling the team, and starting from scratch.
Florida again built a good team in 2003 and once again befuddled the baseball world by winning their second World Series. True to form, they repeated what they did after 1997 by cost-cutting and getting rid of the parts that won it for them.
Since that time, the Marlins changed their team name to the Miami Marlins but have remained to operate as a small market team.
Our Top 50 lists in Baseball look at the following:
1. Advanced Statistics.
2. Traditional statistics and how they finished in the National League.
3. Playoff accomplishments.
4. Their overall impact on the team and other intangibles not reflected in a stat sheet.
Remember, this is ONLY based on what a player does on that particular team and not what he accomplished elsewhere and also note that we have placed an increased importance on the first two categories.
This list is updated up until the end of the 2021 Season.
The complete list can be found here, but as always, we announce our top five in this article. They are:
3. Josh Johnson
We will continue our adjustments on our existing lists and will continue developing our new lists.
Look for our more material coming soon!
As always, we thank you for your support.
1. Giancarlo Stanton
Giancarlo Stanton arrived in South Florida as a second-round pick in 2007, a physically imposing outfielder with a swing designed to launch baseballs into orbit. Debuting at just 20 years old in 2010, he immediately established himself as the premier power source in the organization's history.
Stanton wasted no time showing off his raw strength, as he hammered 22 home runs in a partial rookie campaign. By 2012, his output exploded in a season that saw him capture his first slugging title (.608) and earn an All-Star selection, proving that his power was not merely a novelty but a high-quality asset in the middle of the order. While he navigated a brief dip in production in 2013, he remained a professional mainstay, returning in 2014 to lead the National League in home runs (37) and slugging (.555) while finishing as the runner-up for the MVP.
A series of injuries limited his availability during the 2015 and 2016 seasons. Despite missing significant time, he maintained a steady pace toward the top of the organization's leaderboards, notably winning the 2016 Home Run Derby in a display of power that reminded the league of his elite ceiling. His value remained high during this stretch, as he continued to be a disruptive force in the lineup whenever healthy, combining his strength with a disciplined approach that forced opposing pitchers to navigate every at-bat with extreme caution. It was 2017 when he became a franchise legend.
In the 2017 campaign, Stanton was the author of one of the greatest individual seasons in Marlins history. That summer, he showcased a mastery of the strike zone and a terrifying consistency, blasting 59 home runs and driving in 132 runs. He led the league in home runs, RBIs, and slugging percentage, a performance that earned him the National League MVP.
Following his MVP season, the organization looked to distance itself from his massive contract. In a move that mirrored many previous chapters in the franchise's history, he was traded to the New York Yankees after the 2017 season. He left behind a statistical footprint that remains the definitive benchmark for every hitter who follows, departing as the all-time franchise leader in home runs (267), RBIs (672), and bWAR (35.7).
