Keen observers of the Milwaukee Brewers' farm system were rooting for a debut in 2025 that never came. Manning first base for the Triple-A Nashville Sounds for most of last season was the uniquely talented Ernesto Martinez Jr., but his opportunity in the big leagues never did arrive.
Brewers fans were hoping to see Martinez in action due to his one-of-a-kind skillset that has earned him the nickname "El Espectáculo," translating to "the show" or "the spectacle" in English. Standing at 6'6" and weighing 254 pounds, according to his MLB.com profile, Martinez has the ability to enter a full split while stretching for a ball at first base.
