Hitters were glad to see Martinez leave for the Florida State League. He had gone 6-0 in 11 starts, surrendering just one homer and posting the league's best ERA at the time (1.13). "He was very poised with a good idea of how to pitch in various situations," Biancalana said. "I'm glad we only had to see him once." Martinez was improved from his eight-start stay in Greensboro last year, when he went 2-5, 2.92. The location on his 92-94 mph fastball went from OK to nasty. He also made great strides with his curveball, among the best in the SAL, and his changeup.
