Minor League Top Prospects
Martinez shared the league's strikeout title with Vancouver's James Harden, yet neither short righthander received overwhelming support as a prospect. Part of the reason was because neither pitched well away from home.
Martinez dominated in Everett, going 5-0, 1.54 with 60 strikeouts in 47 innings. On the road, he went 0-3, 4.06 with 40 whiffs in 38 innings. He did impress the Mariners enough to earn an emergency start with Triple-A Tacoma, where he got a win by allowing one run in six innings. He also pitched nine relief innings at Double-A San Antonio.
"He's a high-energy guy, a maximum-effort guy with quality stuff," Everett manager Terry Pollreisz said. "He's in the low 90s and will touch 93 (mph) with his fastball and has a quality slider, but he's not a real big guy."
