Joshua Martinez brings a contact-first bat and two-way upside for UC Riverside
In the 2025 season, Martinez stood out most as an impact offensive contributor, hitting .426 with a .611 slugging percentage and 24 RBI while also appearing as a left-handed pitcher for UC Riverside before the program’s 2026 roster page listed no current stats. His differentiator is versatility: he can help as a bat in the lineup and as a mound option, and his 2025 offensive leap suggests real carry in the bat. The main fit question is pitching consistency, but the profile fits a team that values grit, multi-role depth, and lineup pressure.
