After treading water for three years in Rookie ball as a third baseman, Martinez found a home in left field last year at Auburn and took a major step forward offensively, earning all-star honors in the New York-Penn League. He's a quick-twitch athlete with strength in his righthanded swing. He has worked hard to calm down his approach, which had been far too active in the past. His mechanics still break down when he gets pull-happy and tries to muscle up on balls, but he's learning to use the middle of the field. He has cut down his exaggerated leg kick and does a better job swinging at strikes. Martinez is strong enough to drive the ball out of the park to all fields, and he's an average runner. He's working on his reads and routes in left field. While he doesn't have a great feel for throwing distances yet, he has above-average raw arm strength. Martinez needs plenty of refinement but his tools are intriguing. He'll advance to low Class A in 2013.
