My Take
Marte is the kind of player I quietly root for: a kid from Nizao in the Dominican Republic who clawed his way up, got traded from Seattle to Arizona, and then truly blossomed. What sells me is that 2023 League Championship Series MVP. Anyone can pad regular-season numbers, but delivering in the pressure cooker of a short series is a different animal. At 185 cm manning second base, he strikes me as the dependable, craftsman-type infielder rather than a flashy star. I admire players who win trust over highlights, and Marte feels like exactly that breed.
