A fundamentally sound defensive catcher, Martinez has extensive experience catching advanced pitching. With a short, compact and strong build, he shows good quickness behind the plate to go along with a quick release and strong, accurate arm. At the plate Martinez has a similar short, compact swing that generates exciting loft power while displaying a patient, selective eye. He is rated the No. 5 backstop in a loaded 2013 catching class.
