Corbin Montgomery Martin (born December 28, 1995) is an American professional baseball pitcher who is a free agent. He has previously played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Houston Astros, Arizona Diamondbacks, and Baltimore Orioles.

Career

[edit]

Amateur

[edit]

Martin attended Cypress Ranch High School in Cypress, Texas, where he played baseball and football. He played college baseball at Texas A&M University.[1] In 2016, he played collegiate summer baseball with the Falmouth Commodores of the Cape Cod Baseball League.[2] He was selected by the Houston Astros in the second round of the 2017 MLB draft.[3]

Houston Astros

[edit]

Martin pitched in his first professional season of 2017 with the Gulf Coast League Astros and Tri-City ValleyCats.[4] In 32.2 innings pitched between both teams he was 0–1 with a 2.20 ERA.[5] He started 2018 with the Buies Creek Astros and was promoted to the Corpus Christi Hooks during the season.[6] In 25 games (21 starts) between the two teams, he compiled a 9–2 record with a 2.51 ERA and a 1.01 WHIP.[7] He began 2019 with the Round Rock Express, posting a 2–1 record with a 3.13 ERA in 37 innings.

Martin was promoted to the major leagues for the first time on May 12, 2019, and made his major league debut versus the Texas Rangers.[8] In five major league starts in 2019, Martin went 1–1 with a 5.59 ERA in 19 innings. On July 3, Martin underwent Tommy John surgery and missed the rest of the 2019 season.[9]

Arizona Diamondbacks

[edit]

Martin was traded on July 31, 2019, to the Arizona Diamondbacks (along with J. B. Bukauskas, Seth Beer, Joshua Rojas) and cash considerations in exchange for Zack Greinke.[10] He did not play the rest of 2019 and all of 2020 as he recovered from Tommy John surgery.

Martin struggled in 2021. He started off in Triple-A with the Reno Aces, rehabbing from his Tommy John injury, and when he was eventually called up to the majors, he failed to impress. Across 5 games, Martin posted a 10.69 ERA, to go with an 0–3 record.[11] On July 8, the Diamondbacks announced that Martin, who was on Reno's 7-day IL, had been shut down for the foreseeable future. He would not return to play in 2021.[12]

On April 23, 2022, the Diamondbacks recalled Martin from Triple-A Reno.[13] Martin made 7 appearances (2 starts) for the Diamondbacks, posting an 0–1 record and 4.84 ERA with 21 strikeouts in 22+1⁄3 innings pitched. The majority of his season was spent in Reno, where he made 17 starts and pitched to a 6–7 record and 6.08 ERA with 79 strikeouts in 77 innings of work.

On March 15, 2023, Martin suffered a tear in the lat tendon under his right shoulder during a spring training game. He later opted for surgery that would sideline him for the entire 2023 season.[14] Martin was optioned to Triple–A Reno to begin the 2024 season.[15] He made two appearances for Reno before he was designated for assignment on April 7, 2024.[16]

Milwaukee Brewers

[edit]

On April 14, 2024, Martin was claimed off waivers by the Milwaukee Brewers.[17] He made seven appearances for the Triple–A Nashville Sounds before he was designated for assignment on May 10.[18]

Baltimore Orioles

[edit]

On May 13, 2024, Martin was claimed off waivers by the Baltimore Orioles.[19] On June 15, the Orioles removed Martin from their 40–man roster and outrighted him to the Triple–A Norfolk Tides.[20] In 29 appearances for the Tides, he compiled a 1-2 record and 4.05 ERA with 31 strikeouts across 33+1⁄3 innings pitched.

Martin began the 2025 season with Triple-A Norfolk, logging a 2-2 record and 5.29 ERA with 31 strikeouts over 29 appearances. On July 2, 2025, the Orioles selected Martin's contract, adding him to their active roster.[21] He made one scoreless appearance with Baltimore before being designated for assignment on July 13.[22] Martin elected free agency after clearing waivers on July 17.[23] The next day, Martin re-signed with the Orioles on a major league contract.[24] In 17 total appearances for Baltimore, he logged a 1-0 record and 6.00 ERA with 23 strikeouts and two saves over 18 innings of work. Martin was designated for assignment by the Orioles on September 2.[25] He cleared waivers and was sent outright to Triple-A Norfolk on September 4.[26] Martin elected free agency on September 30.[27]

Martin and his wife, Alyssa, were married in January 2020.[28] Their first child, a son, was born in October 2020.[29]
