Ethan Martin

Last updated

4+13 innings to take the loss in his debut. Martin earned his first Major League victory on August 8, 2013 with a 12-1 victory over the Cubs. He allowed one run over 5 innings. [4] After seven starts in which he amassed a 2–4 record with a 6.90 ERA, Martin was sent to the bullpen. At that time, Phillies veteran pitcher Roy Halladay gave him a baseball card that showed the 2000 season in which Halladay posted a 10.64 ERA, encouraging Martin to understand even the best pitchers have rough spots. [5]

Entering spring training in 2014, Martin was in major league camp, and was expected to compete for a spot on the major league roster, either as a starter or a reliever. However, he left his first spring training appearance due to discomfort in his throwing shoulder. While his fastball averaged 93.2 miles per hour (150.0 km/h) in 2013, it reached only 85 miles per hour (137 km/h) during the appearance. [6] He was outrighted off the 40-man roster on June 29, 2015. On December 11, 2015 Martin signed with the Braves, but he was released on March 29, 2016. He has not pitched professionally since.
