Martin Set to Debut for Slumping Phillies

8/2/2013

Yet another Phillies prospect will make their big-league debut this year, as Ethan Martin has been tabbed for tonight's start. With Cliff Lee still experiencing neck stiffness, Martin will take his turn in the rotation and, at least momentarily, give fans a glimpse into the future of the Phillies.
Acquired from the Dodgers last season in the Victorino trade, Martin comes highly-touted. A six-foot-two right-hander, Martin was the fifteenth overall pick in the 2008 Draft out of high school. After working his way through the Dodgers system, Martin was traded to the Phillies last year, finishing the season in Double A Reading, going 5-0 in seven starts. Martin made the jump to Triple A Lehigh Valley in 2013.

In 21 starts for the Iron Pigs, Martin has amassed an 11-5 record to go along with his 4.12 ERA. While that ERA is not overly impressive, Martin clearly has shown promise after entering the season as the Phillies number two rated prospect by MLB.com. While his first stint in the majors may be short lived, depending on Lee's health, one thing is for sure, the Phillies have begun to look to the future as this disappointing season continues.

Side note, Martin's middle name is Cash. That's pretty awesome, in my opinion at least.
