Ernesto Martinez Jr. Riding Five-Game Hitting Streak At Triple-A
Milwaukee Brewers infield prospect Ernesto Martinez Jr. is riding a five-game hitting streak at Triple-A. During this stretch, Martinez tallied at least two hits in all but one game and held a .529/.619/.882 slash line. He went deep twice and held a 4:3 BB:K. This impressive stretch earned him International League Hitter of the Week honors. Through 12 total games this season, Martinez has performed well with Triple-A Nashville, holding a .317/.429/.512 slash line with two home runs and an 8:8 BB:K. Last summer, Martinez spent his entire season with Double-A Biloxi and posted a strong .284/.365/.466 line. It appears the 25-year-old is carrying this success into his first taste of Triple-A. If he continues to perform well, Martinez could be in the mix for a second-half MLB debut.
