Liomar Martinez
Pitching scouting report · 80Grade
Scouting summary
Martinez has a plausible depth-starter foundation because he has carried a starter's workload, shown bat-missing ability, and owns a curveball that projects as his best secondary weapon. The ceiling is limited by below-average present control, incomplete information on fastball traits, and the 2026 deterioration in run prevention and home-run avoidance. More strength, better strike efficiency, and a dependable changeup could keep him in a rotation, but the safer path is a multi-inning relief role where his fastball and breaking ball can play in shorter bursts. The likely outcome is an up-down long reliever with a chance to outperform that projection if the 2025 command level returns.
