Dominican · Porlamar, Venezuela · Born 12 October 1993Dominican baseball player and versatile infielder/outfielder known for his All-Star performances and key role in Arizona Diamondbacks' 2023 World Series run.
Ketel Marte is the Arizona Diamondbacks' versatile All-Star second baseman, a gifted hitter with above-average power and exceptional plate discipline. His ability to hit from either side of the plate with equal effectiveness and his outstanding 2023 postseason performance — including a homer-heavy run through the playoffs — confirmed him as one of the NL's most complete hitters. Marte's blistering 2023 postseason, in which he carried an extra-base hit streak deep into October, helped fuel Arizona's surprise run to the World Series, and he remained the Diamondbacks' offensive centrepiece and only true homegrown star through the years that followed.
