\t2006<\/p>\n
\n\tMiguel Cabrera (Venezuela)\u2014Cabrera participated in all versions of the World Baseball Classic through the end of his Hall of Fame-caliber playing career, but only the 2006 one as a member of the Florida Marlins. In six games, he slashed .211\/.400\/.579\/.979 with two home runs and five RBI. The 2006 season would be arguably his best as a Marlin, posting a .998 OPS in 158 games played.\n<\/p>\n
\n\tDontrelle Willis (United States)\u2014D-Train struggled in both of his outings, posting a 12.71 ERA while taking losses against Canada and \u00a0Korea.\n<\/p>\n
\n\tAlfredo Am\u00e9zaga (Mexico)\u2014Also\u00a0part of the inaugural World Baseball Classic, Am\u00e9zaga\u00a0slashed .250\/.400\/.250\/.650 with one hit, two stolen bases and one hit by pitch.\n<\/p>\n
\n\t\u00a0\n<\/p>\n
\t2009<\/p>\n
\n\t\n<\/p>\n
\n\tHanley Ram\u00edrez (Dominican Republic)\u2014Ram\u00edrez is one of the most electric players Marlins fans have ever seen. Representing the Dominican Republic, in three games, he went 2-for-9 with one RBI and two walks.\n<\/p>\n
\n\tJorge Cant\u00fa and Alfredo Am\u00e9zaga (Mexico)\u2014After participating as a member of the Tampa Bay Devil Rays in 2006, Jorge Cant\u00fa was a member of the Florida Marlins in 2009. In six games, he slashed .360\/.407\/.800\/1.207 with two home runs, six RBI and overall, went 9-for-25 in that stretch. Am\u00e9zaga appeared in just one game, where he went 2-for-5 with one home run and two runs scored.\n<\/p>\n
\n\tRick van den Hurk (Netherlands)\u2014van den Hurk spent almost a decade in the Marlins organization. Towards the end of his tenure, in 2009, he represented the Netherlands, where in two starts, he went 5 \u2153 innings pitched, allowing one earned run off of seven hits (one home run), five walks and struck out four.\n<\/p>\n
\n\tDave Davidson and Chris Leroux (Canada)\u2014In his lone appearance for Canada in 2009, Davidson went one inning, allowing one hit, one walk and struck out one. He went on to make one appearance for the Marlins during the regular season. As for Leroux, he was in the ’06, ’09 and ’13 tournaments, making a total of four appearances. He was only a member of the Marlins in 2009 where in two appearances, he went 1 \u2153 innings, allowing one hit, one walk and struck out one. During the MLB regular season, he made five appearances posting a 10.80 ERA.\n<\/p>\n
\n\tAndy Gonz\u00e1lez (Puerto Rico)\u2014In four games, Gonz\u00e1lez\u00a0went 1-for-4 with a run scored. With the Marlins in 2009, he only played in 14 games posting a .333 OPS. Gonz\u00e1lez returned to the WBC in 2013, but he was under contract with the Chicago White Sox by then.\n<\/p>\n
\n\t\u00a0\n<\/p>\n
\t2013<\/p>\n
\n\tGiancarlo Stanton and Steve Cishek (United States)\u2014This would be Stanton’s first of two World Baseball Classic’s as a member of the Miami Marlins. In the 2013 installment, he played in five games slashing .235\/.381\/.235\/.616 with one RBI and four walks. This would mark the one time Cishek participated in the WBC, but he made four appearances (2.1 IP) for the United States, posting a 3.86 ERA, allowing one run on no hits, walking two and striking out two. He was an excellent closer for the 2013 Marlins, throwing 69 \u2154 innings pitched, which still stands as a career-high. He led Major League Baseball with 62 games finished.\n<\/p>\n
\n\tHenderson \u00c1lvarez (Venezuela)\u2014\u00c1lvarez only made one appearance, but in three innings of work, he allowed three runs off of five hits, walking one, hitting one and not generating a strikeout. Later that year, \u00c1lvarez went on to finish the 2013 season with a 3.59 ERA, 3.18 FIP, 5.0 K\/9 and 2.4 BB\/9 in 102 \u2154 innings pitched. His season was cut short due to injury, only making 17 starts.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tDuring the ensuing offseason, the Marlins traded Stanton and Yelich to the New York Yankees and Milwaukee Brewers, respectively.\n<\/p>\n
\n\tMart\u00edn Prado (Venezuela)\u2014Prado played in the 2013 World Baseball Classic, but not as a member of the Marlins. In 2017, he played in five games, slashing .368\/.429\/.526\/.955 with five RBI.\n<\/p>\n
\n\tEdinson V\u00f3lquez (Dominican Republic)\u2014V\u00f3lquez had just signed with the Marlins that offseason leading up to the WBC, but he was a vet on that DR squad, having participated in 2009 and 2013 tournaments. In 2017, V\u00f3lquez started two games, going eight innings, allowing three runs (one earned) off of 10 hits. He also struck out eight.\u00a0On June 3 of that year, V\u00f3lquez became the sixth Marlins pitcher in franchise history to throw a no-hitter, which came against the Arizona Diamondbacks.\n<\/p>\n
\n\tTayron Guerrero (Colombia)\u2014Guerrero was acquired by the Marlins at the 2016 MLB trade deadline in the infamous\u00a0Andrew Cashner trade with the San Diego Padres. In his lone appearance of the WBC, Guerrero went one inning, allowing one hit and struck out two.\n<\/p>\n

\n<\/p>\n
\n\tSandy Alcantara, Johnny Cueto and Jean Segura (Dominican Republic)\u2014The National League’s reigning Cy Young Award winner, Alcantara made the first start of the WBC for the Dominican Republic, where he allowed three runs off of five hits in 3 \u2154 innings pitched. He struck out two against Venezuela.\u00a0Cueto, who had just signed with the Marlins in that offseason, made one start, going 4 \u2154 shutout innings, allowing three hits and striking out five against Puerto Rico.\u00a0Just like Cueto, Segura was a new Marlins free agent signing and was set to play third base for the team. In two games, he went 4-for-11 with three RBI. Segura flopped during the regular season, though. The Marlins dumped him at the 2023 trade deadline and he announced his retirement in 2025.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\n\tLuis Arraez, Jes\u00fas Luzardo and Enmanuel De Jesus\u00a0(Venezuela)\u2014Arraez was just traded to the Marlins in exchange for Venezuelan teammate Pablo Lopez that offseason. In five games in his new ballpark, he gave Marlins fans a lot of hope, going 4-for-17 with two home runs, four RBI and scored four runs. Both of his home runs came against the United States. This went on to be Luzardo’s best season as a member of the Marlins, but before that, he made one start for Venezuela, where he went four shutout innings, allowing four hits and struck out five. De Jesus had signed a minor league deal. He made one WBC appearance, which came against Israel, where in 3 \u2154 innings of work, he allowed one run on four hits, walked one and struck out five.\n<\/p>\n
