7. Sandy Alcantara

Sandy Alcantara is the perfect example of why you can’t judge a Pitcher solely on their record.

As of this writing, Alcantara has been with the Marlins for four years after being traded from St. Louis, where he played in only eight Games.  Alcantara mainly played in the Minors but became a permanent starter the year after.  It was bittersweet for Alcantara, who became Miami's best hurler, but due to a lack of run support, he led the NL in Losses (14).  He had a good 2020 (3-2 3.00 ERA) but again had a poor record (9-15) in 2021 though he had a nice ERA of 3.19.

Alcantara won the Cy Young in 2022, making him the first Marling to do so.  He also went to his second All-Star, and had a 14-9 Record with a 2.28 ERA and 0.998 WHIP.  He did not follow that with another Cy Young caliber year (7-12, 4.14 ERA, 151 SO), but 2024 is another season, and he could do so again.  If he is one of the few players who stays in Miami for a long time, he could reach the top of this list.
