Ketel Marte's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Arizona Diamondbacks second basemanKetel Martehit his third home run in his last six games, a 400-foot boomer toright centerfield in the third inning of Friday's 4-2 loss against the Baltimore Orioles. Marte's homer, his eighth of the season, cut the deficit 2-1 and proved to be his only hit of the night in five at-bats. He continues to be a more effective hitter when playing under the lights as Marte, who started as the team's designated hitter on Friday, is hitting .321/.370/.519 (.889 OPS) at night compared to hitting just .244 during the day, albeit with a stellar .556 slugging percentage and an OPS of .859. DFS players should consider adding Marte to their lineups when he gets the chance to play after dark. Overall, Marte is off to a great start this season, slashing .295/.345/.538 with eight home runs, 19 RBI, 28 runs, and a stolen base over 174 plate appearances.

Arizona Diamondbacks second baseman Ketel Marte is getting a day off on Tuesday with the team facing the Colorado Rockies at Coors Field. This will be Marte's first game off of the season after he started in each of the team's first 11 games, going 13-for-46 (.283) with three home runs, seven RBI, a stolen base and 11 runs scored in 53 plate appearances. Marte has gone hitless in his last nine trips to the plate, though. He should be back in the lineup on Wednesday for the series finale in Colorado. Jace Peterson is starting at second and is batting sixth in the lineup on Tuesday versus Rockies right-hander Cal Quantrill. Peterson has little DFS upside as a sleeper and is hitless in his only career at-bat against Quantrill.

Arizona Diamondbacks second baseman Ketel Marte continued his hot hitting with his second home run in as many games in a 6-5 loss to the Braves on Friday. It was the only hit in the game for the veteran, going 1-for-5 with an RBI and a run scored, but he's still batting .353 to begin the year. After a hot spring, the former All-Star has continued to hit in the regular season, collecting 12 hits in his first eight games including four multi-hit performances. The switch hitter also has five RBI, 10 runs scored, and a stolen base. He ranks third in fantasy points for second basemen behind just Mookie Betts and Spencer Steer. He'll look to stay hot Saturday against LHP Max Fried, whom he is 2-for-8 off of with a walk in his career.

Arizona Diamondbacks second baseman Ketel Marte went 2-for-3 with a single, a triple, and a run scored in Tuesday's 10-3 Cactus League loss to the Texas Rangers. That makes it three straight spring games with a hit for Marte, going 5-for-7 (.714) with a walk and he's also been hit by a pitch (.778 OBP). Marte had a hit in 16 straight postseason games in 2023 before going 0-for-2 (with three walks) in the final game of the World Series, so it looks like he hasn't missed a beat. Last year's NLCS MVP projects for another productive season at the plate although, as far as second baseman go, you can find others who will steal many more than the eight stolen by Marte last season. NFBC ADP has the 30-year-old going around pick 116, but RotoBaller likes him at 100th overall.
