Josh Martin is giving Hawai'i a left-handed bat with pop, polish, and sneaky hot-stretch upside
In the 2026 season, Josh Martin emerged as a versatile, left-handed first baseman/infielder for Hawai'i, flashing real middle-of-the-order value with extra-base punch, RBI production, and a strong on-base approach. He’s been praised for his defensive prowess at first base and a disciplined eye at the plate, with a walk-heavy profile in summer ball that hints at mature strike-zone control. The biggest selling point: he’s not just a stats line — he brings dependable glove work, steady energy, and a hot hand when UH needs a spark.
