Looks like he converted to a pitcher in 2024. Pitched very well in AAA this year but got rocked in limited action in the majors.

Converted in 2022 with a competitive debut in 2023.  Pretty steady progress since.

Stupid name, though.

Via Andrew Golden:

The Nationals agreed to terms with INF Orelvis Martinez on a minor league deal for next year, per source.

Martinez, 23, played one game for the Blue Jays in 2024. A former top 100 prospect who received an 80-game suspension in 2024 for using a performance-enhancing substance.

Orelvis is in the building.

Of the whole lot, I think I'll miss CJ Stubbs the most.  Happy for him he at least got that cup of coffee and caught a great game.
