Marte is once again tearing the cover off the ball for a short-season squad. The real test will be next year, when he makes the jump to full-season ball.
PuRP No. 29: Hamlet Marte (130 points, 25 ballots) | Winter 2015 Ranking: 25 | High Ballot 15, Mode Ballot 26
Marte was tied with Harrison Musgrave in points, but he wins the tiebreaker because he appeared on more ballots. The 21-year-old catcher, who plays for Short Season-A Boise, has only 91 plate appearances to date in the Northwest League.
