Among all 144 MLB players to record at least 495 plate appearances in the past calendar year, only 11 batters have recorded a higher wRC+ than the 141 mark belonging to Jose Martinez.
You get my point. The whole hitting baseballs thing? Jose Martinez is pretty good at it. As for the rest of his job description–particularly the part where he plays defense–that’s a different story. In fact, if you scaled those same 144 players’ numbers to a 600 plate appearance basis, Martinez ranks dead last in FanGraphs’ defensive runs above average metric.
