It’s not hard to see how Angel Martínez can help the 2025 Cleveland Guardians, as he’s a young switch-hitter with a decent amount of pop who also offers some positional versatility.
Maybe even a bit too much positional versatility.
This year, 72 of 92 Martínez’s appearances have come in the outfield despite the fact that he hadn’t played the position until last summer.
It shows.
Entering play on Tuesday, Martínez had compiled -10 Defensive Runs Saved in the outfield, which was tied for the seventh-worst mark among MLB outfielders despite the fact that he’s only played 560 2/3 innings in the outfield this year, almost all of which has come in center field.
