Major League Baseball has trimmed several weeks off of its usual spring training schedule in order to play a full 162-game regular season. In the midst of all the practices, weight room sessions and exhibition games, each team still made time for a traditional Photo Day event. The Marlins held theirs earlier this week, capturing pics of the 40-man roster players, non-roster invitees, coaches and athletic trainers.
I thought it would be amusing to create mini-galleries of Miami’s longest-tenured players. My cut-off was four straight spring training appearances (those who debuted at Marlins big league camp in 2019 or earlier). Some players are remarkably consistent from year-to-year when it comes to their physical build, accessories and facial expression and facial hair; others have grown up before our eyes.
The photos are in chronological order, beginning with each player’s Marlins spring training debut and ending with the 2022 edition of their portrait.
