Notches first career steal

SSCleveland Guardians

July 24, 2024

Martinez went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Wednesday's 2-1 win over the Tigers.

ANALYSIS
The steal was Martinez's first in the majors, coming in his 19th game. Speed has been just a modest part of his game -- he posted between 11 and 13 thefts in each of his three full campaigns in the minors, and he had two steals over 26 games with Triple-A Columbus before his promotion to Cleveland this year. The 22-year-old has a .261/.350/.420 slash line with two home runs, five RBI, eight runs scored and five doubles over 81 plate appearances in the majors, which has been enough for him to earn steady playing time in the Guardians' outfield.

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2023

2021

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.
