George Soriano (born March 24, 1999) is a Dominican professional baseball pitcher for the Miami Marlins of Major League Baseball (MLB). He made his MLB debut in 2023.
Soriano signed with the Miami Marlins as an international free agent on August 19, 2015. He made his professional debut in 2016 with the Dominican Summer League Marlins.
Soriano missed the entire 2017 season due to injury and played with the rookie-level Gulf Coast Marlins in 2018. Pitching in 11 games (and starting 3), he logged a 1.91 ERA with 36 strikeouts in 42.0 innings of work.[1] He spent the 2019 season with the Single-A Clinton LumberKings, making 23 appearances (20 starts) and posting a 4-7 record and 3.91 ERA with 99 strikeouts in 119.2 innings pitched.[2]
Soriano did not play in a game in 2020 due to the cancellation of the minor league season because of the COVID-19 pandemic.[3] He returned to action in 2021 with the Single-A Jupiter Hammerheads and High-A Beloit Snappers, making 18 starts and registering a cumulative 3.43 ERA with 114 strikeouts in 89.1 innings of work.[4]
Soriano split the 2022 season between the Double-A Pensacola Blue Wahoos and Triple-A Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp. In 40 appearances (6 starts), he recorded a 2.72 ERA with 85 strikeouts and 8 saves in 76.0 innings pitched.[5] On November 15, 2022, the Marlins added Soriano to their 40-man roster to protect him from the Rule 5 draft.[6] Soriano was optioned to the Triple-A Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp to begin the 2023 season.[7]
On April 10, 2023, Soriano was recalled and promoted to the major leagues for the first time after J. T. Chargois was placed on the injured list.[8]
