On the mound, he uses a steady pace on the hill with his hands held waist high. Turns in, with a high leg kick prior to delivering from a 3/4 arm angle. Fastball sat 83-85 mph, sharp breaking 75-76 mph curve and 73-74 mph cut changeup.
Overview: In 2016, the two-way prospect sits at the 7th spot in the state prospect rankings and 319th overall. The John Glenn product showed well at the 2016 Preseason All State Showcase in March before having a strong spring and committing to the Spartans soon after. Martin has two years of high school baseball left and look for the 6-foot-1 two-way product to improve in many aspects over those two years.
