The prominent Dominican infielder for the Arizona Diamondbacks, Ketel Marte, suffered a robbery at his Scottsdale residence during the MLB All-Star break. The incident, which took place while the player was participating in the All-Star Game, resulted in the loss of goods valued at over $400,000. Among the stolen items are jewelry, luxury watches, technological equipment, and items of great sentimental value. One of the most significant objects is a gold chain that belonged to Mars’ deceased mother, a personal symbol of his journey and roots.The event emotionally affected Mars’ family, leading the player to briefly absent himself from team activities and be placed on the restricted list for personal reasons. This time allowed him to recover from the psychological impact of the incident.

His statistics include 19 home runs, 40 RBIs, a batting average of .290, and an OPS of .961, solidifying him as a fundamental piece for the Diamondbacks.

Local authorities continue to investigate the case, without any details about those responsible being revealed so far. Meanwhile, the Diamondbacks have reinforced security measures to protect Marte and his family, reiterating their unconditional support for the player.Thank God my family is well. Money is recovered, life is not.
