After two minor league seasons in the Mets and Jays organizations as an outfielder, he signed with the Phillies as a pitcher in 2014 and he returned to big leagues this season to strike out 22 batters in 19-1\/3 innings in 20 appearances.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/baseballhalloffame.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Womens-Team-Canada-2015-Nicole-Luchanski-Copy.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-14991\" src=\"https:\/\/baseballhalloffame.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Womens-Team-Canada-2015-Nicole-Luchanski-Copy-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"Womens Team Canada 2015 Nicole Luchanski - Copy\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/baseballhalloffame.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Womens-Team-Canada-2015-Nicole-Luchanski-Copy-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/baseballhalloffame.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Womens-Team-Canada-2015-Nicole-Luchanski-Copy-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/baseballhalloffame.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Womens-Team-Canada-2015-Nicole-Luchanski-Copy-100x100.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a><strong>Nicole Luchanski (Edmonton, Alta.)<\/strong><br \/>\nThis talented 25-year-old played second base and batted .533 (second best in the tournament) for the Canadian women\u2019s team that captured the silver medal at the Pan Am Games in Toronto this summer.

A leader behind the plate and in the clubhouse, Martin also threw out more baserunners than any other American League (AL) catcher (32) and had the best caught-stealing percentage (44.4%) of any AL backstop.
