10 Years of Service Time: the Holy Grail for Players. Throughout history, fewer than 10% of Players have possessed the combination of talent, health, resilience, perseverance and good fortune to achieve the feat. In April, Ketel Marte joined the Ten Years fraternity!


Marte was 17 years old when he signed with the Mariners as an international free agent out of his native Dominican Republic in 2011. He spent two seasons with Seattle before being traded to the Arizona Diamondbacks, where he went on to become one of baseball’s most dynamic players. Ketel has made three All-Star teams, won two Silver Slugger Awards, finished top five in MVP voting twice, and become a cornerstone of the Arizona franchise. Congratulations, Ketel!
