About Andy Marte

Andy Manuel Marte was a Dominican professional baseball third baseman. He played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Atlanta Braves, Cleveland Indians, and Arizona Diamondbacks. He also played in the KBO League for the KT Wiz. On January 22, 2017, Marte was killed in a car crash in the Dominican Republic. While a member of Cleveland's Triple-A affiliate Buffalo Bisons in the summer of 2006, Marte was selected for the Triple-A All-Star Game played at Fifth Third Field in Toledo, Ohio, where he also won the Home Run Derby. Marte initially received little playing time with the Indians, and split time between Cleveland and Buffalo in his first two seasons with the team. On July 29, 2010, Marte made his first and only career pitching appearance, pitching a perfect inning with one strikeout of Nick Swisher. The Diamondbacks promoted Marte to the major leagues on July 31, 2014, and hit a two-run, pinch-hit home run in his first at bat with the team off Jeff Locke of the Pittsburgh Pirates.
