Giancarlo Stanton: Most RBIs in Miami Marlins History

Giancarlo Stanton has made a name for himself in Miami. He is a three-time All Star and has already become the Marlins’ all time home run leader with just seven seasons under his belt. He is signed through 2027, with an option for 2028, after signing a 13-year, $325 million contract to stay in Miami. If he stays healthy, there is a good chance Stanton will stand in the Marlins record books for years to come.

This year, Stanton is looking to pass a Marlins legend in a major offensive category. With just 39 more runs batted in, Stanton will pass former Marlins third baseman Mike Lowell as the Miami Marlins RBI king. The record is 578 and at the pace Stanton has been going, he should pass that mark early in 2017.

The Marlins have had some good hitters in their short history. Lowell, Jeff Conine, Hanley Ramirez and Miguel Cabrera have all donned a Marlins uniform at one point in time. Stanton has surpassed all of them in most categories, which shows how accomplished he is. At only 27 years of age, he will be a force in the Miami lineup for years to come. With the numbers he has already put up, he will surely make the Marlins record book incredibly hard to rewrite.
