Jul 16 2018
Martinez offers elite power... When we last visited J.D. Martinez (OF/DH, BOS), he was in the middle of slugging 31 HR in the second half of 2017. After signing a $110 million deal with Boston in February, Martinez has continued to provide elite power. Through 352 at-bats, he is the major-league home run leader with 29 HR, and his .330, 80 RBI, 71 R, and two SB line has resulted in $41 R$. What do his skills suggest about his performance going forward?
