Viviana Martinez is Texas’s spark plug at shortstop
In the 2026 season, Viviana Martinez turned last year’s ACL setback into a breakout comeback, slashing .379/.525/.438 with 67 hits, 47 RBI, 15 doubles, and just 11 strikeouts while anchoring Texas at shortstop with a .962 fielding percentage. She’s a tough, high-IQ table-setter who can win long at-bats, defend with quick reflexes, and deliver in big moments—like her clutch WCWS and rivalry-game swings. If you want a gritty, steady, postseason-ready infielder with real bat-to-ball skill, she’s absolutely your kind of player.
