Kahanu Martinez possesses some of the strongest tools out of the 2026 Hawaii class and he put those tools on display at 2024 Future Games.

LHH shortstop/C showed off his plus bat speed with loose, easy swing in BP. Ball really jumps off his bat and opened DI coach's eyes with plus carry and loft to pull hitting a few line-drive HR's over RF fence. In gameplay, Martinez put together a strong event with quality AB's and drove the ball using the entire field.

Defensively Martinez is an easy-to-project plus SS with a potential plus-plus arm but his value goes through the roof at catcher. Looks like he's caught his entire life with quiet set-up, can really frame and does it so easy for someone with so little experience behind plate in games. You can't make someone want to catch and Martinez wanted to catch at Future Games.

DI recruiting value went through the roof after Future Games and he'll have plenty of options on where to commit and MLB scouts already have Martinez on their radar as he's got all the ingredients and upside for a 2026 MLB draft.

6-00/170, athletic look...2026 LHH SS/C with athleticism, tools & upside MLB scouts love...quick bat with loose/handsy swing, posted above-average scores with bat for age including 92.7 Trackman Exit Velo, has all the ingredients to hit & hit for some power in the end...arm is best tool, quick/loose arm with +arm action & 85 INF velo, pair arm with +actions/+range & all the makings of a true DI SS...athleticism shows up on defense as well as posted second best pop-time (1.90) with 72 catcher velo, had the quickest feet & one of the smoothest/quickest exchange & release, value goes way up if can prove he can catch...posted second best Swift 60 time (6.87), good stride & raw speed should equate to +value on bases...#2 ranked Hawaii 2026...premium DI recruit & strong MLB follow.
