03.31.17 - Martinez, a 6-1 180-pound southpaw, shows decent command of a three-pitch mix. His fastball clocks in the 81-84 mph range, while topping out at 86 once in his outing. Martinez offers two off-speed pitches, a high-arching curveball and a circle changeup. The curveball, which has 1-7 shape, is consistently coming in at 65-66 mph. Though there is a lot of depth to the pitch, Martinez shows the pitch very early, which gives it a large looping action out of the hand. His changeup, 74-76 mph, is well hidden in his hand at release and he throws it for strikes. Martinez’s delivery involves big moving parts, which works both for and against him in certain aspects.
