The White Sox signed him on March 27, 1984, though it would be nearly a decade before he made his MLB debut.
Primarily a shortstop, Martin worked his way up through the minors but was plagued by injuries, which made him miss significant time in 1986.
Entering 1991, he was ranked No. 4 on the White Sox top 10 prospect list (per Baseball America). In 1993, Martin had a great season, hitting .309 and being voted best defensive second baseman in the American Association by Baseball America.
