How does Miami balance the good with the potentially concerning? We’re about to find out.
Jordan McPherson, the Miami Herald’s Marlins beat writer, breaks down all of that on the latest episode of Fish Bytes.
He starts with breaking down Eury Perez’s MLB debut on Friday. The 20-year-old, 6-8 right-handed pitcher dazzled during his start but also gave reminders of what’s still to come and what still needs to be developed long term.
