On July 19, 2012, when he was 17 years of age, he was signed as an international free agent by the Kansas City Royals for $200,000, but the supposed result of the medical exams said that he had an elbow injury, so the team gave up signing him and days later they negotiated with his agent Alberto Barjam and reached a US$75,000 agreement. .[2][3][4] In 2013 Marte was named Dominican Royals Pitcher of the Year in the Dominican Summer League, after going 4-3 with an ERA of 1.71 in 11 appearances covering 47.1 innings.[1][4] Marte spent the 2014 season with the rookie-level Burlington Royals, posting a 4-3 record and 3.44 ERA in 11 contests. In 2015, Marte played for the Single-A Lexington Legends, recording a 4-5 record and 6.44 ERA with 60 strikeouts in 18 games.[5]

In 2016, for Single-A Lexington, Marte was 6-8 with one save and a 4.21 ERA in 26 games (7 starts), in which he pitched a career-high 107 innings, threw 19 wild pitches (2nd in the South Atlantic League), led the league with 3 balks, and struck out 103 batters.[5] He ranked sixth among South Atlantic League relievers, with a batting average against of .225.[1] In 2017, Marte was a Carolina League All Star with the High-A Wilmington Blue Rocks.[6] Marte also made 17 appearances for the Double-A Northwest Arkansas Naturals on the year, registering a 5.75 ERA with 38 strikeouts in 36.0 innings of work. In 2018 pitching for the Class AA Northwest Arkansas Naturals he was 4-4 with two saves and a 2.91 ERA in 43 relief appearances in which Marte pitched 80.1 innings and struck out 80 batters.[5]

In 2019, Marte split the year between Northwest Arkansas and the Triple-A Omaha Storm Chasers. In 14 appearances between the two teams, he posted a 4.19 ERA with 15 strikeouts in 19.1 innings of work. Marte did not play in a game in 2020 due to the cancellation of the minor league season because of the COVID-19 pandemic.[7] On November 2, 2020, he elected minor league free agency.[3]

San Francisco Giants

On December 9, 2020, Marte signed a minor league contract with the San Francisco Giants organization.[3] In 2021 for the Triple-A Sacramento River Cats, Marte was 0-3 with four saves and a 3.49 ERA in 43 games (one start).[5] The Giants added Marte to their 40-man roster following the 2021 season on November 7, 2021.[8]

After 3 scoreless appearances for Sacramento, on April 12, 2022, Marte was promoted to the major leagues for the first time to fill in for Tyler Rogers, who had been placed on paternity leave.[9] Marte made his MLB debut that day, pitching a scoreless inning of relief and allowing one hit to close out a 13-2 victory over the San Diego Padres.[10] Marte was optioned back to Triple-A the following day after John Brebbia was reinstated from the bereavement list.[11]
