In March 2021, Stone Garrett thought his career might be over. Now, he has an OPS over 1.000 for the Arizona Diamondbacks.
He was not among the players who were released in the spring of 2020, when COVID and minor league contraction combined to eliminate 1,400 affiliated roster spots. At the end of that season, though, the Marlins — who drafted Garrett in the eighth round in 2014 — let his contract expire.
“Those are the guys that we all root for just a little bit harder,” manager Torey Lovullo said. “They're easy to root for.” Garrett, along with midseason acquisition Emmanuel Rivera, has filled that role with aplomb. The sample size is small, at just 49 plate appearances, but the results are eye-catching. In 14 games, he’s batting .372 with three home runs and a 1.087 OPS.
