JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Former Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp right-handed pitcher Robinson Piña made his major league debut on Friday for the Miami Marlins in a game against the Atlanta Braves from loanDepot park in Miami.

Piña tossed the eighth inning in the Marlins’ 6-2 victory over the Braves, throwing 11 of his 17 pitches for strikes.

A 26-year-old native of San Cristobal in the Dominican Republic, Piña made 13 appearances with Jacksonville this season, including 11 starts. He posted a 4-3 record and 3.47 ERA, surrendering just 53 hits and 15 walks against 54 strikeouts in 57.0 innings pitched before getting his contract selected by Miami.

Piña was originally signed by the Los Angeles Angels in 2017 as an international free agent. He was a 2019 Midseason All-Star with Low-A Burlington in the Midwest League and reached as high as Triple-A Salt Lake in both 2022 and 2023 before signing a minor league contract with the Philadelphia Phillies. He spent the 2024 campaign between Double-A Reading and Triple-A Lehigh Valley, going a combined 13-8 with a 4.18 ERA, fanning 132 in 129.1 innings pitched. Following the 2024 season, Piña inked a minor league contract with Miami.
