Physical Description -
Large build through upper half; large chest; fairly broad shoulders; slightly higher set waist with long limbs and length throughout build; tapered through lower half and hips; thick, muscular thighs; present build holds slight excess through midsection though frame with moderate maintenance through maturity; ideal, prototypical durable rotation build with modest physical projection and development remaining
Mechanics -
Depth and length through arm path; extremely fluid, loose arm acceleration; extremely easy arm strength; smoothly decelerates arm; average arm speed; true crossfire; closed drive with length through stride; foot strike firm at times; large spine tilt; first base side of rubber; hands breaks at waist; slight rock into motion; gloveside has tendency to leak open on occasion; high 3/4 arm slot varies slightly lower to true 3/4 at times; shows in-game adjustment and strength; demonstrates quality athleticism enough to develop further in rotation; above average potential fastball command shows present average
Makeup/Demeanor -
Dejected body language at times; seldom communicates with teammates or battery mate; goes about business on mound with limited emotion; keeps to himself during pre game work and stretch; questionable desire to improve and potential failure response. Confidence in fastball; immature sequencing with offspeed pitches; talent sugjests potential to improve
Fastball (92-94 T95; Present 5, Future 6):
Shows quality late life and sinking action; present average with enough strength to presently sequence arm and glove side portions of zone; ability to consistently work corners and rely on offering forwards and backwards; major league projection in rotation capacity; elevates and changes sightline, in and away to right and left handed bats; fluid, easy arm action creates deceptive action to pitch; weak contact pitch action; true quality left handed primary offering with profile enough to increase potency of and elevate remaining arsenal
Changeup (84-88; Present 4, Future 5):
Flashes arm speed replication and moderate tumbling action to pitch and present; inconsistent arm speed replication and extension; poor pacing; forced in sequence with limited present confidence in offering; majority show firm tailing action with varying depth; moderate velocity separation at present; arm action and strength conducive for further pitch development; potential as best offspeed pitch in arsenal; will become serviceable at the highest level
Slider (81-85; Present 4, Future 5):
Softer diving action and inconsistent shape; flashes softer two plane depth with variances to sweeping action; feel for pitch, can add and subtract to pitch depth and command either side of plate; confident in left handed matchups; inconsistent arm speed replication and pitch extension; arm slot variances; lacks requisite wrist action for further improvement on pitch action, though fastball command projection and pitch maturity present potential average projection and serviceable utility in arsenal at the highest level
Projection/Future Role -
Floor: Swing/5th rotation (Role 45)
Realistic: 4th/Back End Starter (Role 50)
Ceiling: 4th/Back End Starter (Role 50)
HIGH RISK
Overview -
Brett Martin possesses quality strength and a durable rotation build with length enough to show quality extension and athleticism enough to replicate crossfire delivery from left side; quality, effortless arm action and fastball projection will carry profile and value; high risk profile due to prior injury resume with forearm and oblique concerns alongside questionable makeup; priority on fastball effectiveness weighs heavily on profile to maximize secondaries with further development remaining and limited action; future major league role and projection despite risk at present
