Pair of Marlins Players Named to Sporting News All-Star Team
The recipient of a broadcast journalism degree from the University of Miami, Giselle Espinales is a former sports reporter who now serves as an editor and EVS operator for Fox Sports Florida. Giselle Espinales' work with the network involves editing studio shows that feature area teams such as Major League Baseball's Miami Marlins.
Although the Marlins missed the playoffs for the 14th consecutive year in 2017, two of its players had memorable seasons. Outfield slugger Giancarlo Stanton led MLB in home runs (59) and RBIs (132) and also led the National League in slugging percentage (.631). The 59 home runs was the ninth-most ever hit by a player. Marcell Ozuna, meanwhile, finished the year with a .312 batting average to go along with career-high numbers in home runs (37), RBIs (124), and doubles (30).
Both outfielders were recently recognized for their individual achievements by being named to the Sporting News' National League All-Star team. Charlie Blackmon of the Colorado Rockies was the third outfielder named to the team. The Sporting News began putting together its All-Star teams in 1925. Today, the teams are selected from consensus picks involving a panel of 43 executives. Other Marlins to earn votes in the selection process were center fielder Christian Yelich and catcher J.T. Realmuto.
