Deyvison De Los Santos DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

Miami Marlins first base prospect Deyvison De Los Santos has been optioned to Triple-A Jacksonville. The infielder was competing for a spot on the Opening Day roster but will instead opt to open the campaign in the minor leagues. De Los Santos is one of the top bats in the Miami system. Last season, De Los Santos opened his season with Double-A but eventually was promoted to Triple-A. Through 38 games at Double-A, De Los Santos posted a .373/.426/.696 slash line with four doubles and 14 home runs. Through his first 49 contests at Triple-A, the 21-year-old posted a .289/.338/.588 slash line. He was then traded to the Marlins in a package that sent A.J. Puk to the desert. With Triple-A Jacksonville, De Los Santos saw his production drop to a .264/.311/.523 line with seven doubles and 12 home runs. If he continues to flash power at Triple-A, he will likely reach the majors early in the 2025 campaign.

According to Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald, Miami Marlins first base/third base prospect Deyvison De Los Santos may open the season at Triple-A. Jackson noted that the young infielder needs to reduce his strikeout rate and will "likely" begin the season with Triple-A Jacksonville. Last season, the Marlins traded left-hander A.J. Puk to the Diamondbacks to acquire De Los Santos. The 21-year-old opened the season at the Double-A level and posted a strong .372/.426/.696 slash line with 14 long balls across 38 games. Then, in 99 games at Triple-A (split between Reno and Jacksonville), De Los Santos held a .264/.311/.523 slash line with 21 doubles and 26 long balls. However, he held a poor 22:108 BB:K ratio. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his progression during spring training. He will likely compete for a corner infield spot alongside Jonah Bride, Connor Norby, and Matt Mervis.

Miami Marlins first base/third base prospect Deyvison De Los Santos went 2-for-6 with a double and his 36th home run of the 2024 campaign. De Los Santos was traded to the Marlins at the deadline in exchange for left-handed pitcher A.J. Puk. The infielder opened the campaign at the Double-A level and posted an excellent .372/.426/.696 line through a 38-game stint. Then, through 77 games at Triple-A (split between Reno and Jacksonville), he sits with a .278/.326/.562 line with 22 home runs and 70 RBI. De Los Santos has emerged as one of the best power hitters in the minor leagues and could be in contention for a late-season major league debut. Deeper league managers should continue to stash the 21-year-old as he could provide elite power down the stretch.
