Since short season ball kicked off, several players in the lower levels of the Astros organization have turned heads with their performance, including catchers Nathan Perry and Nerio Rodriguez, outfielder Yimmi Contabarria and hurler Jairo Lopez. One ballplayer who was stood out in particular is DSL infielder Yohander Martinez, a member of the Astros’ July 2, 2018 haul, who has proven ahead of the pack in summer ball. Martinez, 17, is currently hitting .348/.479/.435 with a jaw-dropping 24/12 BB/K mark through 129 plate appearances, while stealing 12 bases and manning shortstop. His remarkable numbers have made him a hot topic of discussion, with some wondering if it’s time to place him among the organization’s top prospects.
