Scouting Report
Updated May 19, 2026
Austin Martin, a former top-5 prospect who struggled early in his MLB career, has emerged as a bright spot for the Minnesota Twins in 2025. After a disappointing 2024 debut (.253 BA, .670 OPS in 91 games) and injury issues in the first half of 2025, Martin has rebounded significantly. He currently leads MLB in on-base percentage by a substantial margin, demonstrating his elite plate discipline and hitting ability that made him a prospect darling at Vanderbilt.
