MLB Power Rankings Week 5

6. Miami Marlins


Record: 16-14, Last Week: Not Ranked, The Breakdown: Welcome to the rankings, Miami! And welcome, particularly, to Giancarlo Stanton's bat. Because it's good at this whole playing baseball thing. And hitting baseballs thing. Stanton made history on Friday night, hitting a 490-foot home run against the Philadelphia Phillies. Four hundred and ninety feet. It was the longest home run in the history of Marlins Park and the 31st homer by Stanton that was calculated at 450 feet or longer. That is, relatively speaking, rather impressive. It's also helping the Marlins win games. As of Sunday afternoon, Miami was just two and a half games out of first in the NL East. (Getty)
