As we gear up for the 2025 Fantasy Baseball season, one name that’s been buzzing around the diamond is Justin Martinez of the Arizona Diamondbacks. With a projected value of $10 in a 10-team NL-only league, he’s certainly a player to keep an eye on. But the question remains: is he ready to take over as the full-time closer for the D-backs?
Martinez has shown flashes of brilliance, especially with his impressive stretch last season where he went 8-for-9 in save opportunities. However, his journey hasn’t been without its bumps. Control issues and emotional management have plagued him at times, raising concerns about his reliability in high-pressure situations.
What do you think? Can Martinez harness his potential and secure the closer role, or will the D-backs look elsewhere for a more seasoned option? If you were drafting today, would you take a chance on him as your closer, or would you prefer to play it safe with a more established name?
Additionally, with the D-backs' bullpen still in flux, how do you see this impacting your fantasy strategy? Are you more inclined to invest in high-risk, high-reward players like Martinez, or do you lean towards safer picks?
Let’s hear your thoughts, predictions, and any experiences you’ve had with young closers in the past. Is there a hidden gem in the bullpen that you think could emerge this season?
