Drafted in the 8th round (249th overall) by the New York Yankees in 2004 (signed for $25,000).
View Draft Report
Cal State Fullerton has one of the more interesting fifth-year seniors in RHP Mike Martinez, who is under control to the Yankees but will be forced to re-enter the draft if the Titans win a regional and continue their season through the draft. A former starter at third base, Martinez took a redshirt year in 2003 due to a hip injury, then transformed himself into a pitcher last summer in the Great Lakes League. He failed in the role of closer for the Titans but came on as a starter, showing solid stuff with an 88-91 sinking, running fastball and plus changeup. He's still gaining experience and learning his craft.
