Javier Sanoja

A 5-foot-7, 150-pound utility player who makes contact at an elite clip but doesn't do much else, Sanoja is only noteworthy because he should spend some time in the majors again after surprisingly debuting in his age-21 season. He had a 6.5 percent strikeout rate and 8.5 percent walk rate in 126 games in the minors in 2024, primarily at Triple-A, where he hit six home runs and stole 14 bases in 111 games. He had zero barrels, one walk and four strikeouts in 36 plate appearances in the majors, but his defensive versatility and strong makeup will buy him more opportunities for the rebuilding Marlins. In a best-case scenario, Sanoja would follow a similar path to teammate Otto Lopez, hitting for a high enough average to potentially play regularly while chipping in 15-20 steals, but even that middling outcome seems unrealistic in 2025.
