2026 Fantasy Outlook

Martinez took advantage of some injuries on the roster to find his way on the field a lot more frequently than he should have in 2025. Martinez is an impatient hitter who can be overmatched by good pitching, but the switch hitter compiled 118 games in the outfield and another 37 at second base making him dual-eligible in AL-Only leagues this winter. That is where the upside ends because he has not yet demonstrated a singular skill which would endear him to fantasy managers. He has average speed and below average power and should be hitting 9th any time he is in a lineup until he finishes filling out physically. In reality, Martinez is holding a roster spot until Travis Bazzana is ready for the big league roster. Martinez was, at one point, a top ten prospect in the Cleveland organization, but the current reality is far from those previous projections. Read Past Outlooks

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2025

2023

2021

Martinez began the 2024 season on the 60-day IL, nursing a fractured hamate bone in his left hand. When healthy, he was assigned to Triple-A Columbus. Looking to spark their offense, the Guardians called up Martinez in early July. He played regularly for a month, posting a .670 OPS, but was sent back to the minors with Lane Thomas and Jhonkensy Noel joining Steven Kwan in the outfield. Martinez is still young, entering his 23-year-old season. He's never been a top prospect, with his chief asset being contact. He doesn't hit the ball with authority and lacks the speed to compensate. His .274/.356/.456 line in 55 games with the Clippers warrants a look in the spring, but Martinez is ticketed to be a versatile reserve, capable of bouncing between the infield and outfield, which seems to be a theme on the Guardians' roster.

Martinez does not hit the ball as hard as we would like, but he makes excellent swing decisions for a 20-year-old switch hitter with experience at Double-A. He slashed .278/.378/.471 with a 17.5 K%, 12.0 BB%, 13 home runs and 23 doubles in 101 games between High-A and Double-A. An above-average runner, Martinez went 12-for-19 on stolen-base attempts last season. He primarily played second base at Double-A and saw time at shortstop and third base in the Arizona Fall League. Martinez would benefit from a trade to an organization with less depth, as it is hard to envision him debuting as anything more than a utility infielder with Cleveland. He is already on the 40-man roster, but Martinez is entering his age-21 season, so there is time for him to build upon the .207 ISO he posted in a small sample at Double-A.

The top data point for Martinez is still the impressive 56-game run he had in the Dominican Summer League in 2019. However, reports from the fall instructional league were positive and it seems like this could be a prospect with few flaws. The switch-hitting shortstop walked as much as he struck out in the DSL, showing a strong hit tool and plus speed on the bases. He is well built and athletic, so he won't get the bat knocked out of his hands in the upper levels, yet his speed should age well. We have yet to see the 6-foot Martinez tap into notable over-the-fence power, but he could start showing double-digit homer pop by the time he gets to Double-A or Triple-A. If everything breaks right, Martinez could play every day up the middle while batting first or second in Cleveland's lineup. He is three-plus years away from the majors.
