Martin had a successful recovery from his 2023 Tommy John surgery and made 10 starts for the White Sox once returning to the major league roster at the end of July. Martin, unsurprisingly, did not earn a win in any of his starts, but his 4.37 ERA was the 3rd bes of tthe starting pitchers on the team. His 2024 velocity was nearly all the way back to where it was in 2022, but he also since added a cutter that he did not use when we last saw him in the majors. Martin's cutter and slider are his best pitches, bu his four-seamer had a noticeable difference in its batting average (.389) compared to its expected batting average (.275). Martin will be two full years removed from his surgery in early May of 2025, but he will still be pitching for the worst team in baseball that will once again cut into his ability to get wins. He has enough stuff to get strikeouts and his pre-injury numbers in the minors show there is some potential upside here. However, the surrounding cast, particularly the bullpen, has to get better for Martin to be anything more than an AL-Only deep league streamer. Read Past Outlooks
