It appeared as though Brandon Martin had it all. THe 38th overall pick int he 2011 MLB Amateur Draft by the Tampa Bay Rays, he was expected to become another Derek Jeter. Instead, his attitude and lack of production led to the loss of his career at just 19 years old.
From that point, things went downhill in a hurry for Martin. He became increasingly unhinged, attacking his parents and saying that he needed to kill them in order to continue his baseball career. He began doing cocaine, and was no longer the person that his childhood friends knew.
