Jordan
Martin

Prep Baseball All-American Game: Elite multi-sport athlete standing 6-foot-5, 206-pounds, Martin shows more and more potential on the mound with every outing. Above-average arm speed out of a near over-the-top arm slot creates a tough downhill while showing present ability to use his lower half well. Extension hovers close to 7ft. on average. Fastball lives 89-92 with some carry and natural cut. Plays well up in the zone and will get on top of left-handed bats regularly. Shows present ability to manipulate shape on a slurve at 77-79 that shows potential of being an out-pitch with whiffs and present command. Low-80s changeup is a current third pitch but shows some feel with arm-side fade as well. Martin can flat out swing it, with present tools at SS as well. Line-drive, up-the-middle approach, the Arkansas commit finds loud contact often with present barrel feel, but all signs point to the mound for long-term upside.

A member of Team Missouri at this year’s Future Games, RHP/INF Jordan Martin (Jefferson City, 2025) jumps up to second on our board. He was also the first member from Team Missouri to come off the board when he committed to Arkansas a few weeks ago. Martin’s calling card may be on the mound long term, where the 6-foot-4, 185-pound highly projectable right-hander has been up to 89 mph this summer, pitching in the mid-to-high-80s with ease and plenty more to come. He’ll spin a tight, shorter wrinkle breaking ball in the mid-70s, throwing it consistently around the zone for strikes and with confidence. Offensively, Martin’s loose right-handed stroke is certainly intriguing, especially once he controls his long, lanky levers with consistency. Martin’s ceiling rivals that of any in the entire class and he’s a premium arm to note in Missouri, regardless of class.

Martin’s been a winner thus far into 2022, popping to our scouts in the high school season and impressing yet again at the Top Prospect Games: Underclass event on June 7th. He flashed upside at the plate, utilizing his long, lanky 6-foot-4, 190-pound levers to whip balls off his barrel at various times throughout the weekend. Martin’s ultimate upside may lie on the mound, however, where he attacked hitters with an 85-88 mph fastball from a higher slot and spun a tighter, shorter wrinkle breaking ball around the zone. Martin will represent Team Select at the PBR Future Games at the end of this month, and he’s one of the higher ceiling prospects in Missouri’s 2025 class.
