Noelvi Marte isn’t just back; he’s making sure the rest of the National League knows it. After a rocky stretch earlier in his career, the Cincinnati Reds infielder has rediscovered his form, and the results have been noteworthy. In his last seven games, Marte is slashing .400/.400/.720 with a homer and seven RBIs, fueling a late-season surge as the Reds chase down a Wild Card berth.
The Reds currently sit just outside the final Wild Card spot, which is clinging to life in the hands of the free-falling New York Mets. If Cincinnati does slip in, there’s a good chance they’ll have Marte’s bat to thank.
