An Insider's Perspective
Sean Martin is a pitcher in the Giants system, selected in the 14th round of the 2003 Draft. Sean has agreed to contribute to the site by offering his perspective on some of the players he has played with or against.
Sean's take on Baseball Examiner's #8 catching prospect and his college teammate of two seasons, Kurt Suzuki of the Oakland A's: He's a great line drive hitter, with power to the pull side. A patient hitter, he will take walks and hit by pitches. He likes to pull the ball and stands close to plate which makes it hard to pitch him away. Defensively, he is solid. He blocks well, has a strong arm and has improved at receiving. He was a team leader at Fullerton, so character should be an obvious plus. |
