To recognize deserving South Florida youth baseball and softball players for doing well in school and displaying sportsmanship, the two-time champion Miami Marlins -- via Marlins third baseman Martin Prado -- have once again partnered with The Miami Herald for a special Team Player spotlight in the Neighbors sports section in print and online. August honorees participated in the Miami Herald Spotlight “Very Prado You” Batting Practice Experience and Meet & Greet, where they watched Marlins batting practice on the field and were recognized at an on-field, pre-game ceremony.
