2024 Fantasy Outlook
Martinez had his best season in the minors last year, posting career-highs across the board on the way to a .963 OPS while stealing 41 bags at three stops, mostly for Triple-A Round Rock. In August, with the Rangers in a playoff hunt and looking for potentially impactful bats off the bench, the club promoted Martinez on the same day it designated Bubba Thompson for assignment. He made a splash early on, reaching base safely in 10 of his first 22 plate appearances, then went one for his final 21 at-bats before heading back to the minors. His ability to draw a walk (16.0 BB%), make noise on the bases and occasional pop (14 HRs in 77 games) makes him intriguing -- especially since he cut down on strikeouts in 2023. Travis Jankowski and Robbie Grossman left for free agency, opening a role as a fourth (or fifth) outfielder for Martinez, but there's no cracking the starting core of Evan Carter, Leody Taveras and Adolis Garica, left to right, and top prospect Wyatt Langford is a more big-league ready bat than Martinez already.
