Jose Bautista

So big, tall, righty, six different pitches, good fastball, the lead.

That could describe Tuesday starter or Wednesday starter in Iori Perez.

I know that they were kind of on similar timelines last year, rehabbing from the TJ as well.

Have you noticed that kind of impact?

And I guess what kind of impact

experience and veteran leadership does Alcantara provide for Perez who, as you know, he comes here in age 23 season and his first full season back as well.

Jeff, you mentioned your 6'6".

You're listed at 6'8", still, if you bring up the baseball reference page.

Maybe they saw the high school basketball background.

Like, oh, he must have been a power forward.

We'll bump him up the same way that, you know, some guy.

No one does it now, I guess, on the hitter side because of the ABS.

But, yeah, there were a couple guys rounding up before, too.

Yeah, exactly.

Jeff, before we let you go here, that's a lot of great stuff on the individuals we're going to see.

Big picture when you zoom out here, this Marlins team, I think based on playing time, is the third youngest team in the league right now.

Obviously some veteran relievers and Sandy, but this is a pretty young group.

They're not too far from 500.

They've played about even from a run differential perspective.

What is a successful season look like for this Marlins team in 2026?
