The Miami Marlins once had one prospect in their organization whose name many people didn’t know. He is still playing in the minors and had a solid 2025 season.
His journey in baseball has been fascinating. He’s been in the minors for 6 years and is hoping to get the call to make his big league debut one day.
Can This Prospect Get A Call Sometime in the 2026 Season?
Evan Fitterer was part of the 2019 MLB Draft class. The Marlins selected him as a 141st overall pick in the fifth round. He’s 6’3 and weighs 215 pounds. Not a top-talented prospect, but he’s still made it to the draft, which not many players have the chance to do.
The 25-year-old is playing for the San Diego Padres Triple-A affiliate. He hasn’t stopped working in his minor league career. In the 2025 season, he finished with a 7-6 record, 3.42 ERA, and 94 strikeouts in 33 games. His ERA in 2025 is his lowest from a full-season standpoint. His performance this season led him to receive Southern League Pitcher of the Month honors in April.
