Not your typical freshman, Cheyanne Martinez came onto the scene in high school fall ball and has been making a major impact for the varsity squad on both sides of the ball since the start of the season. Her slugging jump-started this summer against high-level competition and prepared her for the consistency and leadership that have been asked of her. As the fall continues and into next summer, I highly anticipate her slugging numbers to absolutely skyrocket. Defensively, Martinez plays both catcher and third base and has relentless energy at both. I believe her home on the field is behind the plate; she has an extremely high softball IQ, an aggressive pop-up throw down, and isn’t afraid to throw behind any base to get a runner out.
