Unsigned Junior Spotlight: RHP Sebastian Martinez
April 27, 2020
Our goal at Prep Baseball Report is to promote high school players, and give them the exposure they need to be able to play at the next level. With the 2020 high school season in limbo, we want to continue to be able to promote players, even when baseball is not being played. Over the last two months, we have been spotlighting several uncommitted seniors to help them get the exposure they need to play at the next level in 2021. Starting this month, we will move on to uncommitted 2021's who will be heading into their senior summer.
Next up is uncommitted 2021 RHP Sebastian Martinez (Plant). Martinez is a 6-foot-3, 195 pound right-hander who was a member of Team Florida at the 2019 PBR Future Games. He stood out at Preseason All-State in January where his fastball jumped up to 87 mph. Martinez is No. 108 in the Florida Class of 2021 rankings.

Scouting Report
2019 Future Games participant has continued to progress. His fastball jumped into the 83-85 area and he topped at 87. Some deception in the delivery and gets downhill well. Has command of the bottom of the zone and showed feel for the offspeed. Tight spin on the above average curveball. High tempo worker and high follow.
Physical athletic frame. Quick delivery and arm speed. Sat 83-84 with the fastball and got it up to 85 with a spin rate of 1915 rpm. Used fastball and dark, late-breaking slider combo. The Slider sat 73-74 (2035 spin rate) with a 10-4 shape. Creates good torque on the ball by keeping his front shoulder closed while his hips are fired and facing the catcher. High ¾ arm slot. Hides the ball well and speeds up the hitter with his rapid motion. Commanded both pitches well and attacked the strike zone, inducing a lot of soft ground ball contact.
Athletic and strong frame at 6-foot-2, 190 pounds. Throws from the high 3/4 arm slot with short arm action and average arm speed with fastball sitting 82-84, topping at 85 mph and was very heavy through the zone, curveball 66-68 with near fastball arm speed and good depth, changeup 77-78 with sink. Commands all pitches for strikes. Easy effort with rhythm and stays in line with delivery to home. Balanced setup at the plate with a short leg kick and some rhythm in the swing. Above average bat speed with 88 exit velocity, line drive hitter with level bat path with some pull side power.
Uncommitted. Currently stands at 6-foot-2, 185 pounds with a projectable frame and strong lower half. On the mound, he worked a clean inning where he featured a fastball that sat 81-83 mph, touching 84 with some run along with a 76-77 mph changeup and 66-70 mph curveball. Threw first pitch strikes and worked the corners, down in the zone. Struck out two. In the field, he fields the ball under control and out in front with solid defensive actions. Suited for a corner spot. Throws across the diamond topped out at 78 mph and were accurate to the bag. At the plate he starts from a wide base with a slightly open stance and uphill path through the zone. At times he can drop his hands through the zone, but when he stays level to uphill on his finish, he was able to drive the ball into the outfield. Registered an 82 mph exit velocity in the cage.
Uncommitted. Currently stands at 6-foot-2, 185 pounds with an athletic, projectable frame. On the mound, he showed a quick arm with some extension out in front on his delivery, displaying a fastball that sat 81-83 mph with life, touching 84. Also mixed in a 68-70 mph curveball that showed depth and threw for strikes along with a 74-75 mph changeup. Interesting two-way player that should see some jumps in his game as he fills out his frame and matures. Offensively, he shows some present bat speed through the zone. Registered an 86 mph exit velocity in the cage.
