Carlos Martinez makes a splash at local school - A Hunt and Peck

Carlos Martinez has continued to be active with his foundation, Tsunami Waves, with the mission to "inspire and empower children to achieve their full potential and make their dreams a reality". It is an honorable goal and by the looks of it, one he is working hard to achieve.

Carlos is a great pitcher and is known for his youthful and cheerful personality. He is just damn likable, making him a perfect ambassador for this mission. Who would not want to hang out with Carlos Martinez for an afternoon?

Thank you St. Mary's for having me! #repost ......with @repostapp #Usssss #cardinalnation @cardinals #Southside #MakingWaves #4TheKids #PayingItForward
