He’s been called a late bloomer. I’m enthusiastic about late bloomers!
The quick view is that if he pitches the same as last season (52.2 innings with a 3.59 ERA) he will make a very positive impact on the Diamondbacks bullpen. And, as a pre-arb player, he is very affordable.
Seth Martinez’s 2024 season had two chapters.
The two chapters were:
- March/April/May. 31.1 innings with a 2.01 ERA.
- June/July/August/September. 21.1 innings with 5.91 ERA.
What changed?
He changed his mix of pitches.
