Shairon Martis Short Rookie Card

Martis is a RHP with the Washington Nationals. He started the season with a decent 5-3 record. It was his stats that probably lead to his demotion. Even though he is considered a ground ball pitcher. He threw 34K/39BB in 85 innings thrown. ERA of 5.25. Now when he went back to Triple AAA he did a lot better. 4-4 for the season but 32K/13 BB ratio. He would have gotten the september call up if he hadn’t already thrown over 160 innings. The Nationals wise in holding him until next season since he is only 22 years old. He also took his fastball from the high 80s to 94 mph this season. This kid will be back. Anyway i was happy to pull his short rookie out of a 2009 A&G pack.
