Noelvi Marte Raking at AAA, Reds Weighing Recall Decision
Marte leads AAA in batting average among qualified hitters, but Cincinnati is still assessing whether his performance meets their criteria for a call-up.
Noelvi Marte ranks first in batting average (.371) among 171 AAA players with at least 120 plate appearances as of May 29. He also posts a 1.005 OPS and a 15.8% strikeout rate, ranking 15th lowest in that category. Despite the strong numbers, the Reds have not yet moved to recall him. The organization appears to be weighing additional factors beyond raw statistics before making a roster decision.
