Phoenix, USA – Dominican star player Ketel Marte suffered a bitter setback after participating in the 2025 All-Star Game, where he stood out with his talent. While the baseball player was representing the National League in Atlanta, his residence in Arizona was the subject of a robbery that has generated consternation.
Local authorities in Scottsdale, Arizona, reported that the robbery took place on Tuesday, July 15, while Marte was part of the starting team in the mid-season classic. The police have classified the incident as a “high-value residential robbery”.
According to preliminary reports, the criminals took advantage of the player’s absence to steal jewelry and personal belongings of great value. Fortunately, there were no people present in the house during the robbery.
Mars’ residence is located in a residential area of Scottsdale, according to Maricopa County Assessor records. Although specific details about the stolen items have not been disclosed, nor have suspects been identified, investigations are ongoing.
This unfortunate event occurs in a context of growing concern over robberies of properties belonging to renowned athletes, especially during their travels or important events. The FBI and other professional leagues have warned about the existence of criminal networks that monitor athletes’ schedules to commit these crimes.
During the All-Star Game, Ketel Marte hit a double that drove in two runs and contributed to his league’s victory. However, upon his return home, instead of celebrating, he was met with the bitter news of the break-in.
