"During his time at Triple-A, Roa relied on a sinker-slider combination, with the former accounting for 39.7% of his pitches and averaging 95.6 mph. He used the slider 31.2% of the time, while his 96.0 mph four-seamer was his third-most used pitch at 21.1%. Across 60 1/3 innings over 50 appearances, Roa posted a 2.83 ERA with a solid 26.1% strikeout rate."
"The Marlins claimed him off waivers in November of that year, though he spent most of 2025 in the minors before eventually having his contract selected in September. He made his big-league debut on September 6 and made two appearances for the Marlins, logging three innings and three strikeouts without allowing an earned run, although he did issue three walks. Roa was optioned back to Triple-A on September 15 and eventually outrighted on November 6 before electing free agency."
Christian Roa elected free agency after being outrighted to Triple-A Jacksonville. The 26-year-old was a 2020 second-round pick by the Reds and was claimed off waivers by the Marlins in November 2024. He spent most of 2025 in the minors before a September MLB debut, appearing twice for three scoreless innings with three strikeouts and three walks. In Triple-A he primarily used a 95.6 mph sinker and a slider, posting a 2.83 ERA and 26.1% strikeout rate across 60 1/3 innings, while walking 11.4% and registering a .225 BABIP. Roa has under one year of MLB service time and two minor-league options remaining.
