RHP Carter Martin (Warrenton, 2027) used Monday to only solidify his status as one of the top pitching prospects in Missouri’s current freshman class. A simple, athletic in-line mover down the mound, Martin’s athleticism and ease of operation are polished past his age. He pitched at 82-84 mph with his fastball from a loose, quick arm that played out of a ¾ slot. Martin’s breaking ball showed sharp late break off a lateral plane, spinning at nearly 2700 RPM on average in the 71-74 mph velocity band. To round out his arsenal, Martin also threw a 74-75 mph changeup that played with natural run from a lower arm slot than his fastball on average.
