Organization Prospect Rankings
Track Record: After signing for $300,000 in 2018, Marte played well in the Dominican Summer League in 2019, at one point putting together a 17-game hitting streak near the end of the season. He continued that momentum by impressing at instructs in 2020. The 2021 season in the Florida Complex League was more of a challenge for him, but he showed enough to keep hopes high for his future.
Scouting Report: Marte hit just .204 in the FCL in 2021, but some in the organization who observed his play saw him as the most consistent player in the lineup day to day, and he still managed a .363 on-base percentage. From a skill standpoint, he is brimming with plus tools. He’s a good runner with an excellent arm, giving him potential plus defensive ability in center field. He also has potential plus power. But plate discipline is a major issue at this point, as he struck out 59 times in 137 at-bats last season, and the holes in his swing got exploited in the FCL schedule, where everyone plays the same small handful of teams repeatedly.
The Future: Marte has all of the raw tools to be a big leaguer, but the lack of plate discipline threatens to hold him back. That’s the development to watch as the 2022 season unfolds.
TRACK RECORD: Marte signed for $300,000 during the 2018 international signing period and had a loud debut in the Dominican Summer League in 2019. He tied for second in the league in triples, tied for his team lead in home runs and reeled off a 17-game hitting streak toward the end of the season. He reported to instructional league in 2020 and was one of the top standouts in camp.
SCOUTING REPORT: Still a teenager, Marte has made big improvements in a short time. He's a toolsy, powerfully built center fielder with a strong arm and plus speed. He has a short bat-to-the-ball approach and has improved his patience at the plate. He hits line drives to all fields and doesn't over-swing. Marte has gained 20 pounds since signing and has a good deal of untapped power potential. In instructional league games, he homered into the wind twice--once at home and once at cavernous Jupiter. The organization likes his confidence and his aggressiveness.
THE FUTURE: Marte is one of the most exciting, high-energy players in the system. He'll make his stateside debut in 2021 in the Rookie-level Gulf Coast League.
