Ketel Marte

Marte went 2-for-4 with a pair of doubles and a run scored in Saturday's 2-1 loss to the Pirates. Marte is on a 16-game hitting streak, and he was the only Diamondback to record multiple hits Saturday. He's 23-for-59 (.390) during the streak. The second baseman hasn't enjoyed over-the-fence power with just three home runs in 50 contests, but he's up to 19 doubles. He's posted a .268/.338/.432 slash line with 18 RBI, 25 runs scored and three stolen bases this season.

Marte went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Friday's 8-6 win over Pittsburgh. Marte's two-run shot in the fifth inning extended his hitting streak to 15 games and ended a stretch of 20 contests without a homer. Since swatting 32 home runs in 2019, Marte's power has been held in check by missed time due to injury. He's been healthy thus far but has just three home runs over 49 games, though he's also added 17 doubles this year.

Recently extended Arizona Diamondbacks All-Star second baseman Ketel Marte didn’t have quite the start to the season that he was expecting. The switch-hitter said earlier this season via translator that his contract may have been a reason for his slow start because he was trying to do too much in order to live up to his new deal.

PHOENIX — Arizona Diamondbacks star Ketel Marte got a hit in his 12th straight game on Monday, tying his career high. The hit came on a check swing off of Atlanta Braves pitcher Spencer Strider in the first inning that trickled toward the third base bag.

Marte went 1-for-2 with a stolen base in Tuesday's 8-7 extra-inning win over Atlanta. Marte was initially given the day off, but he entered as a pinch hitter for Jake Hager in the seventh inning, grounding into a double play. He stayed in the game at second base and delivered a single and a stolen base in Arizona's ninth-inning rally to tie the game. Marte's hitting streak is up to 11 contests, a span in which he's gone 15-for-43 (.349). For the season, the veteran infielder is up to a .260/.325/.405 slash line with two home runs, 16 RBI, 23 runs scored and three stolen bases through 191 plate appearances.

Marte went 2-for-3 with a walk, a double, two RBI and two runs scored in Monday's 6-2 win over Atlanta. Marte's first-inning single extended a hit streak to 10 consecutive games, during which he's 14-for-41 with four doubles and eight runs scored. The double gives him 17 -- tied for fourth in MLB. He's still below career norms in the major percentage categories, but that just speaks to the depth he fell to during an April that saw him slash .146/.211/.256. The 28-year-old flipped the script in May with a line of .360/.424/.539 while putting together hitting streaks of nine and 10 games.

Marte went 1-for-4 with a double in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Dodgers.

He'll look to stay hot in the series finale Sunday, when he'll be batting third as Arizona's designated hitter.
