Martinez, a native of Venezuela, signed a minor league contract as a 16-year-old on Dec. 16, 2011. He didn’t begin playing for the Chicago White Sox organization until 2014 due to Tommy John surgery. He posted a combined a 2.93 ERA and 1.39 WHIP for the AZL Sox and Great Falls in 2014, and struggled badly the following year with Kannapolis.
Martinez rebounded in 2016, with a 3.81 ERA and 1.29 WHIP for the Intimidators, vastly improving his walk and strikeout rates.
