Here are the Marlins' 2025 Top 30 prospects

After a playoff run in 2023, the Marlins lost 24 of their first 30 games to open last season and first-year president of baseball operations Peter Bendix got to work on a franchise makeover. He shipped Luis Arraez -- en route to his third straight batting title -- to the Padres for four prospects on May 4. Bendix has executed a dozen more trades in the 10 months since, acquiring 19 additional Minor Leaguers.

Our new Marlins Top 30 includes 19 prospects who weren¡¯t in the organization a year ago, including 13 who arrived via deals, a contingent led by shortstop Starlyn Caba, catcher Agustin Ramirez, outfielder Dillon Head, left-hander Robby Snelling and first baseman Deyvison De Los Santos (who led the Minors with 40 homers). New scouting director Frankie Piliere kicked off his first Draft with two hitters he coveted, outfielder PJ Morlando and shortstop Carter Johnson. Shortstop Andrew Salas, one of the most talented players on the 2025 international market, signed for $3.7 million in January.

Even with all those additions, Miami still has a middle-of-the-pack farm system and a lot of work to do in order to return to contention. It featured the National League¡¯s worst offense last year and has struggled to develop hitters, signing just one position player in the last 15 years (J.T. Realmuto) who developed into a homegrown All-Star. The Marlins have had more success with pitchers and have high hopes for their first two picks in the 2023 Draft, left-hander Thomas White and right-hander Noble Meyer, who cost them a combined $8.6 million.

Here's a look at the Marlins¡¯ top prospects:

1. Thomas White, LHP (MLB No. 41)
2. Starlyn Caba, SS (MLB No. 80)
3. Noble Meyer, RHP (MLB No. 84)
4. Agustin Ramirez, C/1B
5. Andrew Salas, SS

Biggest jump/fall

Here are the players whose ranks changed the most from the 2024 preseason list to the 2025 preseason list.

Jump: Joe Mack, C (2024: 24 | 2025: 9)
After struggling to deal with breaking balls and changeups, the 31st overall pick in the 2021 Draft started looking to attack early-count fastballs and homered 24 times to rank fifth among Minor League catchers last year.

Fall: Jacob Berry, OF/3B (2024: 5 | 2025: NR)
Drafted at No. 6 overall in 2022 after showing all-around offensive prowess at Arizona and Louisiana State, he has slashed just .238/.303/.373 in three pro seasons.
