Daxton Fulton

Dax Fulton, a 24-year-old left-handed pitcher and former second-round pick (2020), was recalled by the Miami Marlins from Triple-A Jacksonville on May 6, 2026, for his MLB debut. Fulton made his debut on May 7 against the Baltimore Orioles, pitching 4.0 innings of relief with 3 strikeouts, 2 runs allowed on 3 hits, and 2 walks in a 7-4 Marlins loss. He has had a challenging path to the majors, having undergone Tommy John surgery as an amateur and an internal brace procedure on his left UCL in June 2023, which caused him to miss the entire 2024 season. In 2025, he returned with a 5.38 ERA over 103.2 innings. In 2026 Triple-A play before his call-up, he posted a 7.65 ERA over 20 innings with 24 strikeouts and 11 walks across 5 starts and 2 relief appearances. Fulton is a 6'7" southpaw sitting at 93.6 mph on his fastball with the ability to reach 96-97 mph, featuring a strong curveball.
