Triple-A: New Orleans Baby Cakes (@cakesbaseball)
Record over the last ten games: 4-6
Season record: 69-70 (17-10 in their past 27 games)
Notables:
Isan Diaz cooled down since arriving at Triple-A, hitting .204 with an OPS of .639 in the 35 games after his call-up.
Zac Gallen really shined during the last part of the year, all of which he spent in New Orleans. For his last 9 outings, he sported a 2.61 ERA in 48 1⁄3 innings, while fanning 53 batters.
Braxton Lee disappointed in his first full campaign in the Marlins organization. At least he finished on a high note and appears to be 100 percent healthy despite missing time during the middle of the summer.
OF Braxton Lee wraps up 2018 with his first 4-hit game of the season.

Double-A: Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp (@jaxshrimp)
Record over the last ten games: 4-6
Season record: 55-82
Notables:
The season went pretty poorly for the Shrimp in terms of their record, but there were several notable players on the roster.
Nick Neidert is just one reason that the early returns from the Dee Gordon trade are squarely in the Marlins’ corner. Though he has had a few less than clean outings over his past ten outings, he entered the last weekend of the year with a 12-7 record with a 3.24 ERA and a low low WHIP of 1.13. He also sported a 9.1 K/9 with only at 1.8 BB/9.
Monte Harrison’s last 10 games were fairly similar to the rest of his season: a .184 average, a homer, 12 RBI with 21 Ks in 38 ABs. At least he conducts himself like a star.
Awesome time at the Jumbo Shrimp game today! Great meeting you @Team_Harrison3 and can’t wait to continue to watch you develop and become a star in The Show. Like I said I’ll see you in Miami next year bro! pic.twitter.com/VY8ip12d3U

Robert Dugger, another player in the Dee Gordon deal, has only given up 2 runs in his last 15 innings, while walking 2 and fanning 15.
Bryson Brigman, who came over in the Cameron Maybin deal with the Mariners, also supports the notion that making deals with Seattle continues to be quite fruitful. Brigman is the 26th-ranked prospect in the Miami system.

Single-A (Advanced): Jupiter Hammerheads (@GoHammerheads)
Record over the last ten games: 4-6
Season record: 70-64
Notables:
Jorge Guzman, the fifth-ranked prospect in the system, had ups and downs all year, while flashing an 100+ mph fastball all the while. Acquired in the Stanton deal. His big issue all year was control, and with an ERA over 4, he still has to truly harness all of his potential.

Single-A: Greensboro Grasshoppers (@GSOHoppers)
Record over the last ten games: 3-7
Season record: 60-76
Notables:
Pretty slow finish for most of the Marlins top prospects who are in Single-A. Edward Cabrera, Colton Hock and Trevor Rogers had very good moments, but finished with some rocky starts.
Top batting prospects Connor Scott, Will Banfield and Osiris Johnson impressed just by ascending to Greensboro within a couple months of the 2018 draft, but all hit less than .200 over the past 10 games.

Thanks so much for reading my updates this year. I look forward to going in depth on some of the Marlins top prospects in the offseason!
