The versatile infielder ranks among MLB&rsquo;s elite performers both defensively and offensively this season. His defensive metrics place him in the 93rd percentile for outs above average, while his batting prowess ranks in the top 10% of major leaguers across multiple statistical categories, including expected batting average, slugging percentage, and exit velocity.<\/p><p>Garrett Hampson, who replaced Marte in Friday&rsquo;s contest, performed admirably by going 1-for-3 with a walk and scoring twice while providing solid defense.
