J.D. Martinez – Thor

Much like with Mookie and Cap, this just seemed too easy to me. Thor has his hammer and J.D. Martinez has his bat. Both can cause some serious destruction and damage with just the slightest of movements. J.D. is probably the strongest guy on the entire team and his home run numbers this past season.

Now you may be saying to yourself, then why doesn’t this link him with Hulk? Great question, I saved Hulk for another player but related their power in different ways, you’ll see. Back to the Avenger in question, the God of Thunder would take to baseball without any effort and much like Martinez, Thor would knock the cover off the ball.

With one swing of Stormbreaker, Thor would have the ball leaving Fenway in the blink of an eye. It’s almost as if J.D. has his own version of Stormbreaker, especially when he launches the ball over the Green Monster. If J.D. continues to launch the ball the way he has been, he may be granted the title of “God of Thunder.”

Not to mention that both J.D. and Thor have next level charisma. Both can light up a room with a smile and bring the eyes to the action. We saw this perfectly in Thor: Ragnarok as Thor commanded the crowd in his battle against Hulk and won them over with his fighting spirit. J.D. is no different and with the crack of a bat, he can get the crowd behind him 100%.
