2025 Fantasy Outlook
Martinez struggled in his first exposure to the big leagues in 2023 and failed to break camp with the Diamondbacks last spring. The 23-year-old missed plenty of bats in the minors, striking out 14 across 6.2 innings for Triple-A Reno last year before his recall in late-April. Martinez still had trouble throwing strikes in the majors, but worked around his 11.7 percent walk rate to produce a solid 2.48 ERA over 72.2 innings. The flamethrower walked 36 to inflate his WHIP (1.31), but his splitter was absolutely devastating (.098 BAA, .122 SLG), generating a 54 percent whiff rate that was 3rd-highest in the league for that pitch type. He also averaged 100.3 mph on his sinker while inducing ground balls at a 60 percent clip. Martinez's ascension to the back-end of Arizona's bullpen was no surprise and he racked up eight of the team's 13 saves after Aug 1. He enters 2025 as the presumed favorite for saves in Arizona, but closing is no guarantee due to the traffic he allows. Read Past Outlooks
Struggles with control in save
Martinez registered the save in Wednesday's 2-1 victory over Atlanta, allowing one run on no hits and four walks with four strikeouts in 1.2 innings.
ANALYSIS
It was certainly a shaky outing by Martinez despite allowing no hits, as he gave up a season-high four walks while throwing just 17 of his 37 pitches for strikes. It was encouraging to see manager Torey Lovullo trust Martinez to record five outs for his fifth save of the year, but the hard-throwing right-hander seems unlikely to be available for Thursday's series finale against Atlanta after tossing so many pitches. Despite owning a 5.79 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 9:5 K:BB over 4.2 innings since coming off the injured list, Martinez still appears to be the favorite for saves in Arizona's bullpen.
