Scouting Report

2026

Scouting grades: Fastball: 50 | Curveball: 55 | Control: 40 | Overall: 40

As a fifth-year senior at Quincy (Ill.) in 2021, Martin led NCAA Division II in strikeouts (152) and strikeout rate (17.4 per nine innings). Looking to save money after committing to a $2.1 million bonus for James Triantos in the second round, the Cubs signed Martin for $1,000 in the sixth round. He has posted a 32 percent strikeout rate at Triple-A during the past two seasons, claiming a spot on the 40-man roster last November and putting himself in position to contribute in Chicago's bullpen this year at age 28.

Martin's best weapon is a power breaking ball that combines curveball depth with slider velocity in the mid-80s. It can be devastating at times and also lose some shape and miss the zone by wide margins at others. He sets up his breaker with a fastball that sits at 92-95 mph and peaks at 98 with more carry than armside run.

Martin works almost solely with two pitches and is undoubtedly a reliever. When he reaches Wrigley Field and how long he stays there will depend on his ability to throw strikes. Working with an upright delivery and over-the-top arm slot, he trades control for deception and has walked 14 percent of the hitters he faced in his first five pro seasons.

Pitch Movement

How this works: This section shows two different ways to evaluate pitch movement. On the left, “Total Movement” shows the real-world movement of a pitch, including the forces of gravity, which affects every pitch thrown. Since gravity requires time, and slower pitches aren't 'better' just because they have more time to move, a pitch's movement is compared to other pitches of the same pitch type, within +/- 2 MPH and +/- 0.5 feet of extension/release. On the right, Induced Movement (or IVB) is reported without gravity, and attempts to isolate movement created by the pitcher's ability to spin and manipulate the ball.
