This is not Forever Giant Yunior Marte RHP from a couple of years ago. This a younger, stronger version of the same name. Acquired at the trading deadline for Mike Yastrzemski. 2025 was a significant improvement on prior seasons. Mid-90's FB, sharp slider that may be his best pitch, working on a split change. Used mostly as a starter up to this point. Whether he continues that track probably depends on developing the third pitch and maintaining improved command. More likely he ends up as a bullpen armm which those guys have value too.
