MLB Draft 2022: Tampa Bay Rays select RHP Trevor Martin with No. 104 pick

The Tampa Bay Rays kicked off day 2 of the 2022 MLB Draft with draft-eligible, 21-year-old sophomore RHP Trevor Martin out of Oklahoma State.

MLB Pipeline ranked Martin more of a round 6-10 selection, given the ambiguity of his pitching offerings:

Scouts have had a difficult time figuring out Martin, whose fastball velocity and secondary pitches fluctuated during a season in which he made five starts but spent the bulk of his time in the bullpen.

Martin averages 94 mph with high spin rates and carry on his four-seam fastball, but he’ll mix in outings in which he deals at 94-98 with others in which he operates at 90-94.
