The Book on Fabio Martinez
Prospect Info
Fabio Martinez
Born 11/29/1989
RHP, LAA
Angels prospect Fabio Martinez went 4-2 (3.35 ERA / 1.31 WHIP) in sixteen starts at Rookie-level Orem in the Pioneer League in 2009. That's not a blazing season, but Martinez is raw enough that the overall game results don't matter that much just yet.
What does matter is his huge, exploding fastball. That heater touched 98mph and racked up 102 strikeouts in just 68 innings of work. Fabio tends to work more often in the 94mph range most days, and he comes to work also armed with a quality slider. His command and control are about what you'd expect from such a youngster (not very good) but he's a big enough talent that the Angels can take their time to teach him the finer points of the game.
