Scouting Report
Updated May 19, 2026
Rodolfo Martinez is a 24-year-old catcher who was selected by the Angels from Triple-A Salt Lake. Originally signed by the Yankees out of Venezuela in 2018, Martinez climbed through the minors with declining results as competition increased. He struck out at a 42% rate in Triple-A last year but has improved to 34.7% this season with Salt Lake, posting a .212/.307/.424 line. The Angels promoted him after losing both Logan O'Hoppe (wrist fracture) and Travis d'Arnaud (plantar fasciitis) to injuries, creating an urgent need at the catching position.
