Dane Michael Myers (born March 8, 1996) is an American professional baseball infielder and outfielder for the Miami Marlins of Major League Baseball (MLB). He made his MLB debut in 2023.

## Career

[edit]

Myers attended James E. Taylor High School in Katy, Texas,[1] and Rice University, where he played college baseball for the Rice Owls.

### Detroit Tigers

[edit]

The Detroit Tigers selected Myers as a pitcher in the sixth round, with the 185th overall selection, of the 2017 Major League Baseball draft.[2] He made his professional debut with the Low–A Connecticut Tigers, logging a 2.33 ERA in 13 games (12 starts). In 2018, Myers started 14 games for the Single–A West Michigan Whitecaps, registering a 3.33 ERA with 61 strikeouts across 73.0 innings of work.[3] He spent the 2019 season with the High–A Lakeland Flying Tigers, appearing in 15 games and struggling to a 4–5 record and 6.54 ERA with 38 strikeouts across 52+1⁄3 innings pitched.[4]

Myers did not play in a game in 2020 due to the cancellation of the minor league season because of the COVID-19 pandemic.[5] He was converted into an outfielder prior to the 2021 season.[6] He played in 45 games split between West Michigan, Lakeland, and the Double–A Erie SeaWolves, hitting .292/.371/.442 with 4 home runs, 24 RBI, and 5 stolen bases.[7] In 2022, Myers split the year between Erie and the Triple–A Toledo Mud Hens. In 121 total games, he batted .267/.315/.489 with career–highs in home runs (25), RBI (77), and stolen bases (21).[8]

### Miami Marlins

[edit]

On December 7, 2022, Myers was selected by the Miami Marlins in the minor league phase of the Rule 5 draft.[9] He split time between the Double–A Pensacola Blue Wahoos and Triple–A Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp to begin the year. On July 3, 2023, Myers was selected to the 40-man roster and promoted to the major leagues for the first time.[10] In 22 games for Miami in his rookie campaign, he batted .269/.286/.358 with one home run and nine RBI.

Myers was optioned to Triple–A Jacksonville to begin the 2024 season.[11] He was recalled on April 28 to replace the injured Avisaíl García and took over as the right-handed hitting component of a platoon in right field with Jesús Sánchez.[12][13] García was designated for assignment at the conclusion of his rehab assignment on June 4, and Myers kept his roster spot with the Marlins.[14] In 40 games with Miami, he slashed .265/.337/.422 with two home runs, 14 RBI, and four stolen bases. On July 14, Myers suffered a fractured left ankle after kicking the clubhouse door.[15] He was transferred to the 60–day injured list on August 25.[16] Myers was activated on September 24.[17]
