The Draft continues on Tuesday with Rounds 3-10. The MLB.com preview show begins at 9:30 a.m. PT, with exclusive coverage of Rounds 3-10 beginning at 10 a.m. CT.
The A's have now selected a college player with their first pick 16 times in the last 19 years, including last year when they selected third baseman Matt Chapman out of Cal State Fullerton.
Though it's rare for college shortstops to be able to stay at the position in pro ball, Martin is considered to be a potential exception. His range and arm are considered to be his strengths on defense, though he's also been error-prone.
