Ketel Marte Sitting Out On Thursday
3 years agoArizona Diamondbacks second baseman Ketel Marte is getting a breather on Thursday as the team takes on Charlie Morton and the Atlanta Braves. Josh VanMeter is drawing the start at second base and batting fifth in the game. Marte started the week off strong with a three-double game on Monday. He's slashing .273/.368/.485 over the month of September as a whole. The 27-year-old has had very little support in a weak Diamondbacks lineup this year, but he's still managed to produce fantastic stats when healthy. His .307 xBA ranks in the 98th percentile of the league while his 116 mph max exit velocity ranks in the 97th percentile.
