Career
Boston Red Sox
Martin signed after being selected by the Red Sox in the ninth round of the 2013 MLB draft out of Texas A&M University. He previously had been selected by the Chicago White Sox (2012) and Washington Nationals (2009) but chose not to sign. Martin was scouted with a three-pitch repertoire that included a 92–94 mph fastball with above-average control, complemented with an 83-86 mph slider, and a 79–82 mph circle changeup that he has the confidence to throw in any count.
In a span of two seasons (2013 and 2014) with three teams, Martin was the first pitcher in the Red Sox 2013 draft class to reach the Double-A level. In his three stints, he posted a collective 8–7 record with a 3.16 ERA and 13 saves in 54 relief appearances, striking out 112 batters while walking 26 in 116+2⁄3 innings of work before joining the Portland Sea Dogs. Martin suffered setbacks and struggled through injuries in the 2015 midseason, spending two months on the disabled list. He recovered late in the year and was assigned to the Arizona Fall League, where his fastball touched 96 miles per hour (154 km/h), with some arm-side run, and garnered a promotion to Triple-A Pawtucket Red Sox in 2016.

Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as middle relief pitcher who plays in the Boston Red Sox Minor League Baseball system. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 28, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q33133788. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1991, 2013, 2012 and 2009.
