Ricardo Martinez is a 2006 outfielder from Miami, FL with a good athletic body at 6-1, 175 lbs that is very loose and projectable. He is the son of "El Presidente", former big league right handed pitcher Dennis Martinez. The family genes passed on arm strength to the son, as Martinez has a loose, very strong arm from the outfield and registered 89 mph during outfield drills. Martinez ran the 60 in 6.73 on the fast track in Atlanta, which surprised us, as he ran in the 6.4's in Florida the week previous under poor and wet conditions. He can really fly, and it shows in his outfield range as well as on the bases. He's a top level defensive outfielder. Offensively, Martinez has good bat speed and the ball jumps off his bat well on contact. He has a bat waggle in back that can affect his timing and his swing is a bit long right now, but all the ingredients are there for him to keep improving at the plate. The most important factor will be his growing into his frame and getting stronger. Martinez is a high ceiling talent who is just beginning to grow into his tools. He is also a very good student off the field.

Ricardo Martinez is a 2006 outfielder from Westminster Christian HS in Miami, FL, with a 6'1", 175 lb. frame. He is the son of former Major Leaguer Dennis Martinez. He has a long and lean body with top level tools. One of his best assets is his speed, and he ran a 6.57-sixty while showing great game quickness as well. Defensively he has very good arm strength with solid carry and accuracy. Martinez also uses his speed and instincts to cover a great deal of ground in the outfield. He projects to be a top level defensive centerfielder at the next level. At the plate he is a right handed hitter with a good load and coil with plus bat speed. Martinez gets the bat through the zone well and can really hit with wood. He looks middle in and attacks the ball staying balanced throughout his swing with good leverage at contact. He currently has gap power that should develop as he matures. Martinez is a very good athlete with a high ceiling and is a must follow. He is also a very good student.
