Orelvis Martinez must prove defensive viability

Blue Jays manager John Schneider said Orelvis Martinez “still needs to prove he’s playable defensively” as the young infielder moves between second and third base during spring training. Schneider emphasized that Martinez has "a lot of work" to do and that this camp will be key in determining his role.
Fantasy Impact:
Martinez’s power potential makes him an intriguing fantasy prospect, but his defensive struggles could limit his playing time. The Blue Jays’ infield is filled with contact-first hitters, giving Martinez a path to a bench role if he can show adequate glove work. Fantasy managers in deep leagues should monitor his spring progress, as his bat could be valuable if he earns regular at-bats.
