Career[]

In 2011, Marte was suspended for testing positive for Stanozolol, a performance-enhancing drug.[1][2] Marte represented the Diamondbacks at the 2012 All-Star Futures Game.[3][4] After the 2012 season, the Diamondbacks added him to their 40-man roster. On April 2, 2013, Marte made his major league debut against the St. Louis Cardinals, recording no hits in 3 at-bats. He appeared in 22 games for Arizona in 2013, hitting .186/.271/.256 with no home runs and 4 RBI in 43 at-bats. In 2014, Marte appeared in 44 contests, slashing .170/.221/.292 with 2 home runs and 9 RBI in 106 at-bats.[5]

Los Angeles Angels[]

The Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim claimed Marte on waivers from the Diamondbacks on October 7, 2014.[6]

In 2015, he spent some time up with Los Angeles but would be optioned down to the Salt Lake Bees on June 2.[citation needed]

Baltimore Orioles[]

On December 14, 2015, Marte signed a minor league deal with the Baltimore Orioles. He did not make the team out of spring training and was sent to AAA.

On April 18, 2016, Marte was traded from the Orioles for a player to be named later or cash to the Philadelphia Phillies. He was released by the Phillies on May 16.[7]

New Jersey Jackals[]

On April 11, 2019, Marte signed with the New Jersey Jackals of the Can-Am League.

He helped lead the Jackals to the 2019 Can-Am League Championship Series, where they defeated the Sussex County Miners and won their first ever league crown. Marte was later named the 2019 Can-Am League Player of the Year.[8]

Following the 2020 season, the Can-Am League merged into the Frontier League. Marte later signed a contract extension with the Jackals, but the 2020 season was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[9][10]
