One of the better offensive infielders in the state that handles all velocities with ease. Is aggressive at the plate, especially in plus counts, and shows the ability to produce consistent loud contact. Have seen the power play gap to gap, but he showed the ability to turn on some good velocity today. Barreled up the first pitch of the game to center field and it would result in a line out, but may have been the hardest hit ball of the day for him. His next at bat he turned on an inside fastball and hit it to deep right field. There was a crosswind that I think kept it fair, but it also kept it in the park. It hit off the top of the wall and DeMartini would get a double. His next at bat he took a 2-2 fastball out of right field to extend the then 1-0 lead. As I stated before I think he moves to third base at the next level, but regardless the swing plays and it plays for consistent doubles and home run power versus higher end arms.

DeMartini has an athletic frame with some projection left. I have seen about eight at bats from the Virginia Tech commit and the one thing I can say is the swing plays. Does not seem to have an issue handling velocity, hitting two home runs to center field off of two Division I arms. It is a square balanced setup with fluid actions. Minimal load before slotting the hands and barrel. Seeks contact out front and gains extension through the baseball. Defensively there is above average arm strength across the infield, comes forward well, and has the ability to throw on the run. Long term I think if he stays in the infield it will be at third or second base. One of the better offensive infielders in VA/DC.
