On Sunday afternoon, after the Diamondbacks’ loss to the Colorado Rockies, Arizona’s star shortstop Geraldo Perdomo had some words to say about his teammate Ketel Marte. “I just want to speak as a brother, he (Marte) just wants to play baseball.” (Credit: Jose Romero | AZ Central Sports) An emotional and fired up Perdomo made his feelings clear about his teammate and how much Marte truly means to him and the Diamondbacks ballclub.

So far, in the 2025 season, Marte has a .297 batting average along with 23 home runs and 56 RBIs, and has been one of the bright spots for Arizona. With his fearless leadership and talented play, he has been the engine that keeps this Diamondbacks train rolling. Whatever the future holds for Marte in Arizona, his teammates know where he stands, what he plays for, and the fire he brings to the franchise.
