CLASS OF 2028

Ranked No. 19 in Ohio's 2028 class. 6-foot-1, 174-pound frame. At the plate, produced a strong 97 mph exit velocity. Defensively, Martin possesses premium arm strength, posting 89 mph across the infield to go with a 7.23 laser-timed 60. On the mound, the arm leads the profile. Martin worked a four-pitch mix — fastball at an advanced 85-88, topped at 88, alongside a 66-66 mph curveball, a 72-74 mph slider, and a 75-76 mph changeup. The changeup carries a praise descriptor and has flashed as a usable weapon against left-handed hitters, consistent with prior looks. Martin can spot all four pitches in and out of the zone on command, working effectively from both the stretch and windup.
