Scouting Report
Updated May 19, 2026
Angel Martínez (Cleveland Guardians) is having an exceptional start to the 2026 season. As of mid-May, he's hitting .260/.300/.473 with 7 home runs and 8 stolen bases (caught only twice). He's demonstrated exceptional contact ability, making contact on 94.1% of swings in the zone and 73.2% of chase swings. Martínez has been particularly effective against non-fastballs, hitting .336 with a .570 slugging percentage. He's also shown strong defensive capabilities (80th percentile in fielding runs) and has secured his spot in the Guardians' lineup despite competition from other outfielders.
