Ketel Marte – Not

The Mariners’ exciting young shortstop hit a bit of wall this week. Marte went 4 for 23 with 2 RBI and 3 stolen bases. He posted a .174/.269/.174 stat line. Marte struck out 8 times and nursed 3 walks.

Ketel is only 21-years-old, and for the most part, he has been very impressive with Seattle. Since being called up on July 31, Marte is hitting .261 with 9 doubles, 1 triple, 9 RBI and 5 stolen bases. He has also played much better defensively than I expected. I think Marte has done enough to go into spring training in 2016 as the Mariners’ starting shortstop.
