The 29-year-old journeyman was the Dodgers’ bullpen catcher for three months. Now he’s pitching and catching in Double-A. “I haven’t played in the big leagues, but I’ve done everything a play…
LOS ANGELES ― In act 2 of “Hamlet,” Shakespeare’s title character pontificates that “there is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so,” a nugget of wisdom that can serve a man well under ambiguous circumstances.
Enter Marte, who had spent four seasons catching at various levels of the Dodgers’ organization. The 2022 season was already a transition year for him. He spent most of the season on the development list at Triple-A Oklahoma City. When he wasn’t catching bullpens, Marte appeared in just seven games. A .181 hitter between the Double-A and Triple-A levels, his future as a major league player was dimming.
The next chapter of Marte’s career brought a twist worthy of a Shakespearean comedy: he was needed at Double-A Tulsa … as a pitcher. “I had a pretty successful career,” he said. “This is my 13th season. I signed in 2011 with the Rockies. I really like to play. I still have fun. I haven’t played in the big leagues, but I’ve done everything a player wanted to. If it’s my time to be a coach or be a bullpen catcher in the big leagues, I have no regrets. I’m really thankful for that.”
