It was a fresh and fun way to get the word out about Marte’s incredible season and highlight how fan voting plays a major role. Embracing these moments and the valley itself will not only help Marte hopefully get the start in the All-Star Game, but will bring awareness to how important this would be for the Diamondbacks as a whole.

So far in the 2025 season, Marte is hitting a .305 batting average along with 17 home runs and has been one of the biggest bright spots of this Diamondbacks ball club this season. Marte not only deserves the start for the Nationals League, but the league and his peers have taken notice as well.
