There have been quite a few surprises this season for the Texas Rangers. However, most of them have been negatives, as players like Adrian Beltre and Shin-Soo Choo have not performed at anything close to their expectations. Yet, through all of the darkness, there have been a few bright spots for the Rangers this season. Of those bright spots, there may be none brighter than Nick Martinez.
After posting a 5-12 record with a 4.55 ERA and a 1.461 WHiP last season, the 24 year old Martinez has truly burst on to the scene this season.
