Scout report

Squad depthCentral defender

R. Martínez is a 23-year-old central defender at Necaxa, rated 44.1 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 33rd of 162 on scout potential in the Liga MX. An emerging talent, he has been a rotation option this season (37.7% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.96 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Martínez.

Judged on this season alone, Martínez graded 10 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 30th of 33 of the 33 centre-backs in the Liga MX, on 2 clean sheets and 2.964 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 10 → 10). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2025/26.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 44, top 16% of the 33 centre-backs in the Liga MX. At 23 Martínez is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 11.4 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

2.96 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 14 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (15th of 18) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 37.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 44.1, Martínez carries the 5th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Liga MX of 33 — though on just 14 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.96 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
