Nick Martinez was one of the bright spots for the Reds last season and his ability to get batters to chase pitches out of the zone was a big reason why.

Martinez got batters to chase pitches out of the zone 33.5% of the time, which was sixth in all of Major League Baseball.

The 34-year-old pitched in 42 games for the Reds in 2024 and went 10-7 with a 3.10 ERA. The Reds hope Martinez can be a big part of their pitching staff again in 2025.
