Oakland Athletics: The unheralded Seth Martinez

It is rare for a relief prospect to be considered amongst the top prospects on any team. With the exception of those truly special pitchers like Josh Hader, or a team so devoid in talent that the likes of Hunter Harvey can still be a top ten prospect, relievers are often overlooked.

That has been the case with Oakland Athletics relief prospect Seth Martinez. Selected in the 17th round of the 2017 MLB Draft out of Arizona State, Martinez began his minor league career as a starter before transitioning to the bullpen in 2018.
