Arizona Diamondbacks second baseman Ketel Marte was named by MLB Network as one of the top 100 players ahead of the 2026 season.
Spots 20-11 were unveiled on Wednesday night and Marte came in at No. 19. He dropped one spot from last year’s rankings.
Marte joins teammate Geraldo Perdomo, who appeared at No. 24 on the list.
Marte is coming off a 2025 season in which he slashed .283/.376./517 with 28 home runs and 72 RBIs despite missing most of April with a hamstring strain.
He was named the starting second baseman in the All-Star Game for the third time in his career. For his efforts, Marte won his second consecutive Silver Slugger Award.
Marte and Perdomo will be playing for the Dominican Republic in the 2026 World Baseball Classic in March.
Corbin Carroll notably has yet to be named on the top 100 list. He appeared at No. 32 when the 2025 preseason rankings dropped.
The top 10 players will be revealed on Thursday at 6 p.m.

Count the number of LA Dodgers in the top 100. It should be obvious to the casual observer that, when one club has 10% of the top players in MLB, a salary cap is necessary. But the MLBPA will fight this tooth and nail. So get to as many games as you can in 2026 - there will be no baseball in 2027.
More revenue sharing will placate owners and keep players fat and sassy as more Green Land is acquired and sports is what America manufactures best.
