Our All-Time Top 50 Miami Marlins have been updated to reflect the 2022 Season
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. That being said, we have existing Top 50 lists out and we always consistently look to update them when we can and based on necessity. As such, we are very happy to present our post 2022 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 not reflected in a stat sheet.
Last year, the Marlins were not able to make the playoffs, and we had one new entrant and one huge ranking jump.
As always, we present our top five, which was not affected by the last season:
3. Josh Johnson
You can find the entire list here.
Cy Young winner, Sandy Alcantara had a monstrous jump from #30 to #7.
Third Baseman, Brian Anderson, moved up from #31 to #29.

Jon Berti is the only debut, and he enters at #48.
We welcome your input and comments and as always, we thank you for your support.
35. Jon Berti
Jon Berti arrived in Miami in 2019 as a baseball journeyman, a 29-year-old minor league veteran who had spent seven seasons working through Toronto's system for a brief appearance in the majors. When the Marlins signed him to a minor league contract, they envisioned a "super-utility" player; what they gained was someone who would eventually carve his name into the franchise record books. Over five seasons in South Florida, he became the ultimate versatile player, offering defensive flexibility and blazing speed that became hallmarks of the Marlins' gritty identity during a rebuilding period.
While he didn’t possess the traditional power of a corner infielder or the high-volume hitting of a primary starter, he made up for it with a unique kind of chaos on the bases. He was a regular for Don Mattingly, moving effortlessly among the outfield, second base, and third base, keeping the roster flexible. By 2022, he reached an unexpectedly high level of efficiency, leading the entire National League with 41 stolen bases in a season. This was a historic anomaly. Berti arguably became the most unlikely stolen base leader in the history of the game, achieving this despite playing in only 102 games.
Berti's 2022 campaign was defined by not just the number of steals but their boldness. He famously swiped second, third, and home in one inning, thrilling Miami fans. In 2023, he had his best offensive year with 114 hits and a .294 average, helping the Marlins reach the postseason.
Berti was traded to the New York Yankees before the 2024 season.
