2025 Fantasy Outlook
Martinez got his first call to the big leagues June 18, got his first and only start June 21, and was suspended 80 games for PED use June 23. He has completed his suspension, and because he played just one game and it was at second base, that's where he'll be eligible to start the season. He also has extensive history playing third base, but he's a middling defender at both spots. The PED issue clouds things, but statistically, Martinez was excellent at Triple-A, logging an elite 37.7 percent hard-hit rate to go with 17 home runs, a .267/.346/.523 slash line and a 23.8 percent strikeout rate in 74 games. If he makes enough contact against big-league pitching, Martinez has the plus power to be a potential everyday player even if his OBP hovers in the .300-.320 range. There will probably be some growing pains if he gets regular run this season, but Martinez just turned 23, so he could end up being a post-hype sleeper in 2026. Read Past Outlooks

Triple-A Buffalo placed Martinez on its 7-day injured list Wednesday due to an unspecified injury.
Analysis
Martinez hadn't played since Aug. 31 due to the injury before Buffalo deactivated him. The 23-year-old had a brief cup of coffee in the majors last summer, but after being issued an 80-game suspension shortly after his promotion, Martinez hasn't resurfaced in Toronto. He's spent the entire 2025 season at Buffalo and hasn't made much of a case for a call-up while slashing just .176/.288/.348 with a 28.5 percent strikeout rate across 393 plate appearances.

2019
A high-pedigree international signee in 2018, Martinez has had plus game power since his pro debut, but swing-and-miss concerns always accompanied the loud pop. From May 10 on, Martinez hit .276/.374/.545 with 24 home runs, a 13.6 BB% and a 23.6 K% in 103 games while splitting time between Double-A and Triple-A. He used to have such a poor hit tool that Joey Gallo with less power and a lower OBP was a valid comp, but Martinez showed significant improvements in his age-21 season. He will always be a power-over-hit third baseman, but it's possible he could hit .230 or better and not sink your batting average. Barring an offseason addition, Toronto's organizational depth chart suggests that Martinez is the long-term third baseman. He turned 22 this offseason and has minor-league options remaining, but Martinez could get a look this summer if he's swinging a hot bat.
For fantasy, Martinez may end up being a one-tool player, but it's a pretty special tool. He has huge power, particularly to the pull side, that he is already showing off regularly in games. It's rare for teenagers to hit 15-plus home runs against full-season pitching, and Martinez hit 28 in 98 games between Low-A and High-A as a 19-year-old. He swings at the pitches he should swing at, but he also swings at many pitches he shouldn't swing at (33.6% chase rate). It's too early to say with much confidence what type of batting averages and on-base percentages Martinez will log in the majors, but he seems unlikely to be a positive contributor in batting average, given his aggressive, pull-heavy approach and current issues making contact. His defensive home is also TBD, but third base is currently seen as his most likely landing spot. Expect 30-plus homer seasons and be happy if it comes with a .245 average.
The recipient of the largest bonus ($3.51 million) in the July 2, 2018 international signing class, Martinez enjoyed success at Toronto's alternate training site in September and had a strong run during the fall instructional league. He trained in the Dominican Republic for most of the summer and joined the rest of Toronto's top prospects for the final week of scrimmages at the alternate site, where he hit one homer. Martinez went on to homer four times in the first two weeks of instructs, setting the stage for his first full-season assignment in 2021. It's all about the bat with Martinez, who has enough arm for third base, but won't be a threat stealing bases and lacks the quick-twitch actions for shortstop. His plus power is not in question, but he is so good at making contact that he can be overly aggressive early in the count. Essentially, he needs to get better at waiting for his pitch.
Martinez was not considered the best prospect in the July 2, 2018 international signing class, but he received the largest signing bonus ($3.51 million). Toronto jumped him over the Dominican Summer League and sent him straight to the Gulf Coast League -- a rare assignment for a 17-year-old's pro debut. He proved to be up to the challenge, ranking ninth in the league in wRC+ (150) while demonstrating a good understanding of the strike zone (8.6 BB%, 17.8 K%). Six of his seven home runs came over his final 15 games. He has played shortstop but projects to end up at third base long term, as he should continue to fill out his 6-foot-1, 188-pound frame. Martinez won't contribute with his legs, but he could be a four-category force if he reaches his ceiling. He was way too pull-heavy (60.9 Pull%) in his debut, but that's the only clear flaw in the profile. Look for him to spend most of 2020 at Low-A.
Toronto coughed up $3.51 million to secure Martinez's rights -- the top signing bonus for international free agents who signed on July 2, 2018. He really impressed in instructs and now seems like the No. 2 dynasty-league target from that class, behind Marco Luciano of the Giants. It's easy to see why Martinez projects to offer plus power down the road -- the ball jumps off his bat and he is already very adept at lofting the ball. It is unclear how high his batting average will be, but it is possible he could also develop a plus hit tool. A shortstop from the Dominican Republic, Martinez is roughly 6-foot-1, 180 pounds, and could end up growing into a prototypical third baseman's body. Martinez will not be a threat on the bases, so his fantasy value will be tied to his power and batting average. The Blue Jays' top 2017 international signee (Eric Pardinho) was aggressively assigned to the Appy League, and Martinez could follow suit if he impresses this spring.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Chance for MLB debut soon?
2BToronto Blue Jays  AAA
August 30, 2023
Martinez could be in the mix to be called up by the Blue Jays in September, per Keegan Matheson of MLB.com, though fellow prospect Spencer Horwitz may be more likely to be promoted as a bench bat.
Analysis
Martinez is Toronto's best position player prospect and has an .845 OPS in 33 games since being promoted to Triple-A Buffalo in mid-July. The 21-year-old has hit 23 home runs between the Double-A and Triple-A levels this season after he hit at least 28 long balls in each of his first two full minor-league campaigns. Playing time for Martinez is unlikely to be consistent if promoted, though Matt Chapman and Bo Bichette being on the injured list with finger and quad injuries, respectively, could create a path to a semi-regular role, especially with the big-league roster expanding to 28 players Friday.
