We are at the point in the season where we can start to make bold statements about how a player has performed over the course of the year, and I think it is pretty safe to say that Carlos Martinez has had a phenomenal season so far in 2015. He has posted a 2.69 ERA and 3.45 FIP in 137 1/3 innings covering 21 starts and two relief appearances. His strikeout rate (24.3%) is noticeably higher than previous seasons, in large part due to an improved changeup, and he has been much more efficient overall, averaging close to 6 1/3 innings per start.
