The Phillies have signed Lino Martinez, a 6-foot lefthander from Venezuela. Martinez, 16, throws 86-88 mph with good feel for a changeup. Martinez’s breaking ball is a work in progress, but he has some athleticism and a good delivery.
Martinez signed for $325,000, a comparable bonus to what the Phillies gave Dominican outfielder Domingo Santana earlier this year. Santana is currently in the Rookie-level Gulf Coast League.
