Dave Martinez Autographed 1992 Upper Deck #784 Cincinnati Reds Card

Featuring Dave Martinez with Cincinnati, this Dave Martinez autographed 1992 Upper Deck #784 Cincinnati Reds card documents his move to the Reds after spending parts of four seasons with the Montreal Expos. The card provides an interesting contrast to Martinezs 1992 Upper Deck #382, which still pictured him with Montreal, while this later-numbered issue reflects his new Cincinnati affiliation.

Martinez joined the Cincinnati Reds for the 1992 season and quickly became a regular part of the clubs outfield. He appeared in 134 games during his first year in Cincinnati, collecting 120 hits with 20 doubles, 7 home runs and 38 RBI.

A versatile outfielder capable of handling all three positions, Martinez had already established himself as a dependable Major League contributor during his years with the Cubs and Expos. His strongest season before arriving in Cincinnati came with Montreal in 1990, when he batted .279 with career highs of 147 hits and 60 RBI while adding 17 stolen bases.

Martinez remained with Cincinnati into 1993 and ultimately played 16 seasons in the Major Leagues. He finished his playing career with 1,599 hits, 91 home runs, 580 RBI, 183 stolen bases and a .276 batting average while appearing for nine franchises.

Following his playing career, Martinez built an extensive career in the dugout. He served as bench coach for the 2016 World Series champion Chicago Cubs before becoming manager of the Washington Nationals and leading the franchise to the 2019 World Series championship. As a 1992 Upper Deck issue showing Martinez with his new Cincinnati club, the #784 is an appealing addition for Reds collectors, Dave Martinez fans, Upper Deck collectors or collectors assembling comprehensive autographed player runs.
