Ketel Marte, who is now in his ninth season with Arizona, has been a model of consistency and leadership for this D-backs squad. Marte so far on the 2025 season has a .313 batting average and 15 home runs along with a 1.012 OPS, numbers that place him among the top offensive second basemen in the league. Marte’s defensive metrics are just as equally impressive that show range and elite instincts.

Marte’s presence in the Diamondbacks lineup has been a key reason the team remains in the playoff hunt. With several young stars around him, he’s taken on more of a leadership role, helping guide Arizona through a tightly contested NL West race.
