MIAMI — Sandy Alcantara on Monday watched his remarkable 2022 season flash before his eyes. Sitting in the front row of the Rooftop Cinema Club South Beach, the Miami Marlins’ ace watched as a nearly 22-minute documentary created by the team encapsulated all that he did in his breakout year — from his arrival in spring training, to paying homage to his late mother and brother, to walking off the mound after his MLB-leading sixth complete game to wrap up the season.
The 27-year-old, flamethrowing, 6-5 right-handed pitcher did it all for the Marlins. He blended an old-school mentality to finish every game he started with the new-school arsenal that turned him into one of baseball’s best in 2022.
He now officially has the hardware to show for it.
