Reds Promoting Noelvi Marte Saturday
9 months agoThe Cincinnati Reds are calling up infielder prospect Noelvi Marte to the major leagues. The 21-year-old ranks as the club's No. 1 overall prospect and MLB's No. 24 prospect, per MLB Pipeline. The Reds add yet another rookie to their already-stacked cast of promising youth currently on the big-league roster. Marte, a key piece of last summer's Luis Castillo trade, figures to see most of his opportunity at shortstop with Matt McLain primarily playing second base while Jonathan India (heel) is sidelined, but he can also play third base. Marte is slashing .279/.358/.454 with 11 home runs, 20 doubles, four triples, 45 RBI, and 18 stolen bases in 348 minor-league at-bats this year. He should be added across most formats with plenty of raw power and speed potential to go with it.
