In 2019, Marte was an All-Star and he would finish fourth in MVP voting. Marte was also second in bWAR (7.2), Hits (187), and Batting Average (.329). Marte continued to be a solid roducer for Arizona, but in 2023, would reemerge as a upper-star player, where he had his best year since 2019. That season, he had 157 Hits, batted .276, and helped the Diamondbacks win the National League Pennant. Last season, the D-Backs faltered but Marte had his best season to date with career-highs in Home Runs (36), RBIs (95) and OPS+ (155), was third in MVP votes with his first Silver Slugger.
Still a iamondback, Marte is poised to make a leap into the all-time top five.

As of this writing, Infielder Ketel Marte has completed seven seasons for the Diamondbacks and his versatility in the infield has made him a valuable commodity for the team. Marte made history as the first player in postseason history to have two triples in a game hit from both sides of the plate, which he accomplished in the 2017 National League Wildcard Game. In 2018, he would lead the NL in Triples. This was good, but he would break out in 2019, which was the necessary step needed to make him the face of the franchise.
