Commit/Drafted: Never Drafted
Age At Draft: 22
Martin pitched three seasons with Division III Sewanee (Tenn.) and was the conference pitcher of the year in 2022 after posting a 3.89 ERA over 69.1 innings with 98 strikeouts. Following the year, Martin transferred to Kentucky, where he started the 2023 season strong before running into a few speed bumps with his control when SEC play began, and injuries cut his season short. Ultimately, he posted a 4.44 ERA over eight starts and 26.1 innings, with a 25.9% strikeout rate and 14.7% walk rate. When healthy, Martin has thrown a 93-95 mph fastball that has been up to 98, with solid riding life. He’s primarily gone to an 80 mph slurvy breaking ball after the fastball, and generated a 33% miss rate with the pitch this spring. Martin has also used a mid-80s changeup. He has the makings of a solid three-pitch mix, but below-average control and health will now cloud his status, despite a strong start to his SEC career.

School: Sewanee (Tenn.) Committed/Drafted: Never Drafted
Age At Draft: 21
Martin has generated strikeouts at an impressive rate throughout his Sewanee (Tenn.) career, but this spring was the first time he threw more than 35 innings in a season while still doing it. The 6-foot-1, 180-pound righthander posted a 3.89 ERA over nine starts and 69.1 innings, while striking out 98 batters (31.7 K%) and walking 25 (8.1 BB%). Martin throws a fastball in the low 90s and runs the pitch up into the mid 90s, while throwing from a lower, three-quarter arm slot. His go-to secondary is a breaking ball in the upper 70s and he has also thrown a mid-80s changeup—but it’s a distinct third offering.
