During his time with the Owls, Martinez compiled a .290 batting average and a .755 OPS while appearing in 110 games, and he posted a .973 fielding percentage that highlighted his reliability at the hot corner.

Among the newcomers are former FGCU catcher Jon Embury, Jacksonville State right‑hander Maddox McDougall, Oregon State southpaw Trey Morris and Utah State infielder Kyle McDaniel, each of whom bring a mix of power and poise to the roster. Coach Rich Dorman, who has guided the team’s pitching staff for several seasons, expressed confidence that the blend of returning veterans and fresh arms will restore depth and competitiveness as the schedule unfolds.
