Mets outfielder Fernando Martinez is off to a strong start at
low Class A Hagerstown as a 17-year-old, hitting .323/.408/.538
with one homer, eight RBIs and three steals in 17 games. If
Martinez were a high school senior right now, where would he
likely be drafted in June?

Martinez signed for $1.4 million out of the Dominican Republic last summer.
Though he was a free agent then and would be restricted to negotiating with
one team in the draft, he'd do better this June.
In a draft crop that's very thin on position players and is getting the worst
early reviews since the 2000 bunch, Martinez would be coveted. Realistically,
he's at least three years away from the major leagues, so that might keep him
from going No. 1 overall, but he'd likely be one of the first five or 10
picks. He's better than any high school position player available, and you
could argue him against the top college position players. Martinez has a
higher ceiling than Long Beach State third baseman Evan Longoria, and scouts
believe he's a safer bet to hit than Texas outfielder Drew Stubbs.
Martinez already is an advanced hitter and he also has above-average power
potential. With solid speed and a strong arm, he projects as a quality
all-around right fielder. For the sake of comparison, he's outperforming the
other 17-year-old phenoms in the South Atlantic League, Braves shortstop
Elvis Andrus (.221/.279/.284) and Yankees outfielder Jose Tabata
(.329/.342/.452).
