View Draft Report
A 33rd-round pick by the Marlins last year, Martinez struggled to hit in the Cape Cod League last summer but batted .286/.405/.500 this spring to help UC Santa Barbara win the Big West Conference title. Martinez is an aggressive middle infielder who plays hard with a grinder mentality. He’s a tough at-bat who draws a lot of walks, has a sound swing and shows surprising pop for his 5-foot-11 frame. Martinez’s bat speed is below-average and his defense at second base is fringe-average. He contributes in enough ways to be picked on the draft’s third day.
