Javier Martinez is the brother of former Boston College pitcher Joseph Martinez, now in high Class A with the Giants. Javier has always possessed a good arm and decent stuff, including an 87-91 mph fastball that has touched 93 in the past, an average changeup and a passable breaking ball. Unfortunately, he still hasn't learned how to command any of his pitches. He walked 64 in 94 innings this season, giving him 219 walks in 296 innings over his four-year career.
