2025 — Freshman season
Martinez had a fairly substantial role as a freshman, primarily out of the bullpen. Berea's 2025 cumulative statistics show:
13 appearances
1 start
27.1 innings
2–0 record
10.21 ERA
30 hits allowed
34 runs allowed
31 earned runs
40 walks
23 strikeouts
Opponents hit .303 against him.
The most encouraging number from his freshman season was probably the 40 strikeouts in 27.1 innings. He also finished with a winning record at 2–0, despite his relatively high ERA.
He had limited defensive involvement as well, with 2 total chances, 1 putout, 1 error, and a .500 fielding percentage.
2026 — Sophomore season
Martinez's role changed significantly in his second season. Berea's 2026 statistics show him making 8 appearances with 6 starts, so he moved from mostly a relief role into more of a starting-pitcher role.
His 2026 pitching numbers were:
8 appearances
6 starts
17.2 innings
0–4 record
14.77 ERA
30 hits allowed
32 runs allowed
29 earned runs
23 walks
6 strikeouts
2 home runs allowed
Opponents hit .366 against him.
One notable performance came against Bluffton on March 28, 2026, when Berea's statistics credit Martinez with 8 strikeouts. That was the highest single-game strikeout total listed for a Berea pitcher in the team's 2026 season statistics.
Interestingly, the season statistics also show Martinez with some defensive action: 4 chances, 1 putout, 2 assists and 1 error, for a .750 fielding percentage.
