Martinez pitched three innings in his Grapefruit League debut on Wednesday. It's the only start he'll make before the Classic, and if the Dominican team advances to the finals, he won't return to Cardinals camp until the final week of Spring Training. That's why the Cardinals desire to have his workload monitored.
Mozeliak said he intends to open dialogue with a member of the Dominican staff in the coming days to discuss its plans for Martinez. The Classic does have pitch count rules in place to protect pitchers from throwing too much, too soon.
