Chicago Cubs: Top 30 Prospects- No. 20 to No. 11

Stats – N/A (Signed Oct. 2015)

Martinez was just signed for $3 million on October 9, 2015, from the international market. What’s impressive about Martinez is that he hasn’t he had a single at-bat in pro ball and he ranks as #12 in the Cubs farm system.

He has four solid tools and some power to the alleys. He projects to hit average because of his bat speed and compact stroke. He did not hit for much power in Cuba but has added some strength since coming to the US. Martinez’s best tool is his speed, which is well above average.

He should steal a healthy amount of bases and be able to remain in center field. He has a strong arm is solid overall in the field. We will see what level the Cubs decide to start him at this year, but at 21-years-old, he could be on the fast track to the big leagues.
