Martinez makes his first appearance in 2017 charging out of the gate and matching his career-high nine strikeouts over 5 innings. Martinez was signed back in 2011 and didn’t make his debut until 2014 due to TJ surgery. This his third stint with the Intimidators, after the White Sox aggressively assigned him there in 2015 as a 20-year old with only 58.1 pro innings. He was over-matched in posting a 4-14 record and a 5.38 ERA. The following season went much better, as the 6’6″ 190 lb right-hander finished third in the SAL with 141 strikeouts in 137 innings. This earned him a spot as a White Sox 2016 UTR Organizational All-Star
