Landon
Martin

LHP/OF Landon Martin (Lafayette, 2025) is a lanky, upside 6-foot-2, 175-pound athlete that showed well on both sides of the ball at this event. Martin’s day started offensively, where he repeated line drive contact from a short, flat left-handed swing that flashed bat speed throughout. Martin later hopped on the mound and sat in the low-80s, touching 82.9 mph with his fastball while creating both ride (19.7 IVB) and run (17.8 HM) at peak. Martin also flipped in a 65-67 mph curveball for strikes with depth off a 1/7 axis, and he limited spin (1600) while creating run (15.5 HM) on a 74-76 mph changeup thrown from fastball arm slot.
