2025 Player Outlook
He went 10-7 across 142.1 IP last season, with a 3.10 ERA, 1.03 WHIP, and 6.44 K/BB ratio. He doesn't put himself in harm's way, and last year's 1.14 BB/9 was dazzling. Money talks, and Martinez got starter money with his deal this offseason ($21M), so expect the team to give him a chance to be a full-time starter for them in 2025. It is worth noting that his splits were better as a reliever last season, but a 3.84 ERA and 1.12 WHIP as a starter is nothing to scoff at. Of course, he could be a swing guy if needed, but he is a starter you can target to help your team's ratios, and his ability to limit hard contact should help him when pitching in the hitter friendly confines of his home park.
