Martin was a big standout this spring for Greenfield-Central, logging significant innings on the varsity squad as a freshman. He showed the same feel at this event, pouring strikes with an 80-83 mph FB and 68-70 mph SL. The delivery is balanced, with a longer arm stroke, and easy projections in the 6-foot-3 athletic frame. He showed some two-way prowess with some power for the age as a RHH OF, but I believe the future is on the mound with the projection and present stuff/feel considered.
