Scouting Report
Updated May 19, 2026
Austin Martin has emerged as the Minnesota Twins' primary bright spot in 2025, ranking 11th in MLB with a .313 batting average and 38th with an .837 OPS over 41 games. The 26-year-old right fielder, acquired from Toronto in 2021, has become the team's most consistent hitter alongside catcher Ryan Jeffers. After struggling in his 2024 rookie season (.253 average, .670 OPS) and dealing with injury issues early in 2025, Martin has rebounded significantly and is now the Twins' full-time right fielder following Matt Wallner's demotion to Triple-A.
