PROSPECT: Noelvi Marte, 3B/SS, Cincinnati Reds
ANALYSIS: The Seattle Mariners signed Noelvi Marte in 2018 out of the Dominican Republic. He had a huge debut in the DSL, hitting .309/.371/.512 with nine homers and 17 steals in 65 games. After the pandemic, the 19-year-old Marte pushed across the Mariners' A-ball levels in 2021, hitting .273/.366/.460 with 17 home runs and 24 steals. That put him squarely on the prospects radar as a top-20 prospect.
Marte was one of the key pieces the Mariners sent to Cincinnati to acquire Luis Castillo in mid-2022. He combined for 19 home runs over 115 games. The Reds moved Marte to Double-A this season, playing third base primarily as he's thickened in his legs and isn't really a shortstop anymore. He has shown impressive bat control this year between Double-A and Triple-A, hitting .275/.346/.446 with eight home runs and 13 steals.
VERDICT: While he may still have growth to achieve at the plate, he's shown plenty already. The Reds are not holding anyone back, which shows that they're ready for the next level. If Marte gets hot in the second half in AAA, he could end up in the majors down the stretch. He should be owned in all dynasty formats.
