Milwaukee Brewers: Cuban prospect Ernesto Martinez Jr. signs

The signing of Ernesto Martinez Jr by the Milwaukee Brewers is one that should have fans excited for this 17-year-old’s future.

He stands at 6 ft. 6 in. tall and weighs in at 220 lbs. Keep in mind that he is only 17 years old. He looks like he is projected to develop into big-bodied slugger in the future.

His approach at the plate has drawn comparisons to Bryce Harper and Yoenis Cespedes. He has a very strong arm that helps him play all over the outfield. He can also pitch from time to time as he has a fastball that hovers around the mid-90s.
