Professional career


On March 14, 2018, Martínez signed with the Chunichi Dragons on a developmental contract.[1] He spent the 2018 and 2019 seasons with Chunichi's farm team. On July 1, 2020, Martinez was given a full-time rostered deal and a new shirt number, 57. [2] Martínez notched 5 hits in 18 plate appearances for Chunichi in 2020.[3] The Cuban catcher Ariel Martinez shone again on Wednesday in Japanese baseball, when he hit a homer that led to the victory of the Chunichi Dragons over the Yakult Swallows. Playing left field, the versatile Martinez went 2-3, with a run scored and a walk, to leave his average at .333, and get the only run of the game, which ended 1-0 in favor of his team.[4]


Personal life


Like every kid in Cuba of his generation Ariel Martínez admires Ariel Pestano as he do, now one catcher that he like to watch and emulate is Salvador Pérez. He try to watch film of him and he definitely try to catch plenty of Kansas City Royals games on television when he can.[5]
