Francisco Eliel Martinez is a 2019 LHP with a 6-0 180 lb. frame from Gurabo, PR who attends Puerto Rico BB Academy. Medium athletic build, plenty of room to get stronger. Works from the stretch with a very high leg lift start, long front leg swing, full arm action through the back, shows the ball to the hitters, extended 3/4's arm slot, cross body release, creates angle to the plate. Fastball topped out at 87 mph, occasional late diving life, maintained velocity well. Tends to slow delivery and arm on his curveball but has good feel for the pitch with a sweeping shape. straight change up. Mixes up his pitches and throws strikes. Good student.
