Martínez Wins Award for DSL Dominance Saturday, November 7th , 2026 António Martínez said he thinks hitters often underestimate him, as he's only 21 years old.
But he'll certainly be getting a lot more respect now, as the DSL Phillies rising star has won the Dominican Summer League Reliever of the Year for 2026.
He captured the award on the strength of his 1.39 ERA over 32.1 innings. He also had 4 saves in 21 relief appearances, 40 strikeouts and only 7 walks.
He received 20 first place votes out of a possible 30. Ernesto Pérez of the DSL Rockies finished second in voting with 6 first place votes, while Dan Leonard of the DSL Mariners finished third with 4 first place votes.
