Marte was batting .327 with 24 doubles, 18 home runs and 66 RBI in 82 games this season for Columbus. He leads the International League this season in on-base plus slugging percentage (.963) and slugging (.593), ranks second in RBI, is tied for second in homers and extra base hits (43), and is third in batting average.
Over four seasons in the majors, the last three with Cleveland and his first with Atlanta, Marte has played in 174 games and is a career .211 hitter with nine homers and 52 RBI.
