The 2015 Miami Marlins season was highlighted by the outstanding performance of Dee Strange-Gordon, who won the National League batting title with a .333 average and earned both Gold Glove and Silver Slugging honors. Despite finishing with a 71-91 record and undergoing a mid-season managerial change from Mike Redmond to Dan Jennings, the team saw the emergence of young talent like Justin Bour, who hit 23 home runs, and the continued brilliance of Giancarlo Stanton before his season was cut short by injury. Fans also enjoyed the return of ace José Fernández from surgery and the veteran presence of future Hall of Famer Ichiro Suzuki, providing several memorable moments at Marlins Park. The 2016 Miami Marlins season was a year of significant progress and resilience under first-year manager Don Mattingly, as the team achieved a 79-82 record and remained in postseason contention well into September. The campaign was highlighted by several individual milestones, including legendary outfielder Ichiro Suzuki recording his 3,000th career hit and Christian Yelich enjoying a breakout season with a career-high 21 home runs. Despite facing immense adversity following the tragic loss of ace Jose Fernandez in the final week, the team showed incredible spirit and unity, finishing third in the National League East and providing fans with a foundation of young talent for the future. The 2013 NL Rookie of the Year and a two-time All-Star, José Fernández was a dominant right-handed pitcher for the Miami Marlins who recorded a 2.58 career ERA and 589 strikeouts before his tragic passing in 2016.
