BALTIMORE — Richie Martin and Renato Nuñez, former A’s top prospects, were expected to be major contributors at the big league level by this point in their careers. The A’s are finally seeing that plan come to fruition this series, only it’s for the opposing side.
Martin and Nuñez are both getting regular playing time on the left side of the infield for the Baltimore Orioles, a club that is rebuilding with several young players on the major league roster.
Martin, 24, was the 20th overall selection by the A’s in the 2015 MLB Draft out of the University of Florida.
