LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2003 Sunshine West Showcase
At 6 foot 1 and 180 pounds, Martinez has a good athletic body. He is a catcher that utilized 75 mph arm strength coupled with good footwork to produce pop times regularly at 2.0 and his best time of 1.96 at the bag without a batter or runner. As a hitter he showed good balance and got some lift to his ball. He hit the ball well in BP but lacked the power to send it consistently with any depth in the outfield. He showed he had that pop when needed by driving one of his last BP pitches deep. As he gets stronger we expect that he will show that kind of hitting ability more regularly. In the games he looked strong defensively and if he squares his feet better on his throws in a game, he might get those pop times even lower. Watch him this summer, he will play at the College level.
