Writeup w/ video of Ethan Martin's first start

by npurcell on Apr 12, 2010 11:05 PM EDT

This is not my blog but I figured it should get some exposure. In this game Martin was unhittable going 5IP 3H 0R 0BB 9k.

A 2 way player in high school, last year was basically his first year pitching full time. It seems like the Dodgers might be taking the kiddie handles off him. Wouldn't be surprised if he makes it to AA by June.

If you can...

Try and catch Aaron Miller and Kenley Jansen sometime please! :)

Might be able to help

I’m going to the game tomorrow and Miller’s supposed to start. I’ll give another scouting report if he does!

Definitely.. . .

a lot more promising arms in the Cal this league than bats. I was going to try to catch Miller vs Kazmir, but went to a high school game instead, was too tired to catch a second game.

10ks 0bbs in 5 innings for miller!?!? i bet he was just nasty.

nice

good job getting the vid from behind him. really good view of his curve, which looks nasty

it's a dirty pitch

I like to get video from that angle to check out their stuff. Angel stadium is cool too, bc you can get right behind the visiting catcher in the pen. .

Martin's 2nd start

Just got back from the Inland Empire game. I was expecting Jon Michael Redding to pitch so I didn’t realize until the 3rd or 4th inning that Ethan Martin was on the mound. He pitched a very solid game, going 6 innings without giving up a run. I haven’t seen the box score yet, but I know he only gave up 2 hits and I believe he struck out 5 or 6 while walking 2 or 3. I talked to one of the guys charting pitches and apparently his fastball was between 92-96, his curve from 76-80, and his slider from 84-87. His delivery is entirely effortless and his curve has great bite to it. If he can sharpen his command a bit this kid could be a stud starter.
