This would be an ideal outcome, IMO. Martin is the best overall hitter in this draft, with good contact skills, a low strikeout rate, good OBP skills, and solid pop. He has walked more than he has struck out in his college career, which is impressive for an SEC player with a career slugging percentage north of .500.

He could slot in anywhere from 3B-SS-2B. Anthony Rendon is a pretty good comparison, I think, of what Martin could be as a pro.

I was hoping to see your posts before the draft.

Can you give us your pick for the Royals? I know it depends on who is there but I also know you have an opinion on everyone in the top of the draft.

Who’s the perfect match for the Royals?
