PROSPECT: Orelvis Martinez, SS, Toronto Blue Jays
ANALYSIS: One of the elite prospects in the 2018 international signing class and produced big raw power in his debut at the Florida complex in 2019 and across both A-ball levels in 2021, earning him rankings into the top 50 in prospect lists before the 2022 season.
Then, Martinez met upper minors pitching. Orelvis has a very grooved swing that produces tremendous power (30 home runs in 2022) but also frequently misses the ball (.203 average with a 28.5% strikeout rate in 2022). This season has seen more of the same, as Martinez has one of the lowest wOBA marks in the minors at .192.
Defensively, Martinez is still an instinctual player whose arm should play on the left side of the infield, but he'll need to make more contact throughout the zone to have his plus raw power play in games.
VERDICT: His value might be so low that it's now worth selling at this time, yet a guy who hit 30 Double-A home runs as a 20-year-old really is hard to drop. He's getting close to that level, however.
