Iokepa Martines, Kamehameha (HI), 2026
Positional Profile: 2026 C/OF w/present tools, +makeup & upside of a potential DI recruit
Body: 5-4, 171-pounds. Medium frame, good overall strength, especially lower half
Hit: RHH. Slight crouch, weight on backside w/hands slightly back at shoulder, good/strong base, nice setup, looks like a hitter...slight rack-back to load, quick hands w/short uphill swing w/minimal effort & natural loft, got some feel for hitting & like ability to consistently find barrel & drive balls to all fields in BP
Power: Already showing signs of a mid-order pwr bat, has bat spd & present strength to forecast pwr as big part of his game but also has feel for hitting & could end up a value to hit & hit for pwr
Arm: RH. C-66 mph. Arm not his strongest tool, still very young & makes up for it behind plate w/quick exchange & release
Defense: 2.14-2.25 pop times. Receives well, has the +makeup to be a quality C & value defensively, more ath than looks, would not be surprised if equally as good a defender at 3B as C = UTL/versatility value
Run: Runs well for a C, very good/strong stride similar to a running back, run still able to improve but don't see run as a big tool in the end
