/var/www/html/login/modules/Playerss/shortcodes.json not found
5-foot-10, 170-pound frame with athleticism. His defensive ability stands out. Moves well on the dirt with fluid actions and confidence in his hands. Plays with bounce and the energy and passion to his game has been easy to notice at various PBR Events. A natural right hand hitter, Martinez has begun to switch hit over the last year. Compact swing with quick hands, line drive approach from the right side with the ability to use the whole field. The left hand swing shows promise and should be something he can continue to do moving forward. He has played well this summer and should be exciting to see what he does with Team Carolina this week.

5-foot-10, 150-pound frame with room to add strength. The left hand hitting infielder impressed at the Preseason All State South event earlier this year. Fluid, connected swing with his barrel staying long through the zone and the ability to line the ball to all parts of the field. The swing is loose with quickness. Athletic defender with trust in his hands and enough arm strength to play on the left side. Put together a good season at the plate for Providence while showing the ability to be versatile on the defensive side of the ball. Overall, an athletic left hand hitting infielder who should be fun to watch with Team Carolina this week.
