Player Profile - Davis Martin
Davis Martin has emerged as not only the Barons ace, but the the ace of the entire Southern League. The right-handed pitcher struck out a career Double-A best nine batters in his last start against the Trash Pandas. He is 2-1 with a 3.00 ERA in five games. Martin leads the Southern League in strikeouts (33) and has thrown 24.0 IP, good for second in the league. He also has pitched to a strong 1.25 WHIP.
Martin's four-pitch mix should get Barons and White Sox fans excited. At just 25 years old, Martin's fastball is topping out at 98 mph, and he promises to be a big part of Birmingham's Southern League run.
