Career

Marte pitched for the Hiroshima Toyo Carp of Nippon Professional Baseball before signing with the Royals.

Marte was designated for assignment by the St. Louis Cardinals on October 3, 2013.

Marte threw four pitches — a four-seam fastball in the mid 90s with good tailside break, a slider in the low-to-mid 80s, a splitter in the low 80s, and a changeup in the mid-to-high 80s. The slider is used more against right-handed hitters, and the changeup is used more against left-handers.^[2]
